These Y classes are seriously kicking my @$$ but that's good since they should be!
Last night was my first Monday night in which I did everything that I scheduled myself to do.
Running. I got to the Y late so I only had about 25 minutes to hop on the treadmill. I could only pound out 2.75 miles. I did a quick 5 minute cooldown before heading to...
Spinning. I tried to stay with the class but when the instructor kept telling us that we're going to climb higher & higher, I decided to not up the resistance. Sometimes I would, sometimes not. Then I was able to eat a Luna bar and cool down before...
Pilates. I've taken the session before about 3 years ago. It's the same teacher but she's really good. I have a Pilates DVD and it was just like following that but I know that if I do it at home and not go to class then I'll never end up doing it!
Today while getting up from a stint of sitting at my desk, I could feel it in my glutes and my thighs. Tonight while doing the Step Aerobics, I was fine but when we did the floor part (abs mainly) I could feel it there in my stomach. Which is why I skipped the Get on the Ball class. But that's good. I'm supposed to feel it. Cross-training day. I told co-workers what I did yesterday and they all thought I was crazy. I was at the Y from 5p to 7:30p! Like I said, Gym and I are gonna be BFF!
I've been in a sad mood since Saturday evening and I have felt it in my energy levels a bit. Tomorrow I have speed work. I've been in a crying jag this evening. I'm definitely gonna feel it tomorrow in terms of motivation. I'll just need to keep driving right to the Y. I may not do the toning class after all and just do the run and that's it. When I'm happy, I want to run. When I'm sad, I don't want to and just curl up in bed and hide under the covers. Weird how that works. I hate speed work. Tempo runs I can do but speed work... not so much.

I'm still jealous that your Y has a ball-based class. I want ours to have one.
And I'll do my speed work tomorrow if you do yours! We'll be speed work buddies. And then we can whine about how much we hate the treadmill afterwards.
