    great Zumba! 00:46

    Zumba!: My class was killer tonight. I feel like I should have dropped 10 pounds just today with as much as I sweated between yoga, running, teaching dance and then Zumba!

    great Lexi Belle doggie walk! 0.65 mi 00:12:34 19:19 pace

    Lexi Belle doggie walk!: It was really humid so Lexi wasn't quite as rambunctious as she usually is. She managed to get three people to pet her though, so she was thrilled. ;-)

      great job on the 1 mile attempt, if it starts pouring, might as well turn around, smart call, On the knucklehead guy, no normal person would do that.

    Week 2 - Day 2: YMCA to park, loop and back! No pain, which is good. Out of running shape, which I can change. Grateful for new friendships, kind runners and great motivation.

      Well done Gina. No pain is awesome and you can definitely change the other. Motivation is key so as long as that is abundant, you will do awesome.
