Oh. You Actually Exercise.

Day 2 of run every day challenge

Ran (with a couple of walking breaks) 3.1 miles
45 minute spin class

Tonight, despite being incredibly sore from Monday's spin class, I went to another class. It was the same instructor, and when he walked in he exclaimed "Oh. You actually exercise." I was very confused until he elaborated that apparently a lot of first timers claim to exercise, but really don't and because of this can't walk for 5 or 6 days. He said he wasn't expecting to see me back for at least a week. He was equally as surprised that I ran  yesterday and today -- I may be overweight, but I still work out! 

The class was a little easier today - but still hard. The first 10 minutes, I was so stiff and sore that I was regretting my decision to go tonight, but then my muscles loosened up and it got a little bit better. There are still a few moves that I struggle with, but I'm sure that with time, I'll get the hang of it. 

This morning I met up with Vicki to run at Livingston Park. Suzanne was supposed to join us - but she set her alarm clock to 6 pm, supposedly on accident (kidding), so she couldn't make it on time. We ended up doing 3.1 miles. It was hilly and I had to stop to walk for a  minute at the 1 mile mark and then a couple of times after. It was a beautiful morning, and it wasn't very crowded. I will definitely make it back there - especially to practice some hills.
