Sponsor Welcome: Rock My Run


So Hil has been talking to me about Rock My Run for well....a while now.  I have to admit that I'm kinda a creature of habit & while I have gotten SO MUCH better about expanding my horizons the last few years (Um hello? I moved over 600 miles away from home to a city where I didn't know anyone...) I do sometimes still fall into my normal habits.  My normal habit being: iTunes & Nike+

I'm just used to it and I like it.

But Rock My Run rocks a lot of activity on Twitter and yesterday I was finally intrigued enough (or bored enough from being sick for the last 5 days) and decided to see what this is all about.

Holyyyyyyyyyyyy Mole.  Hil, I'm sorry I didn't listen/pay attention sooner.  I've started out with the standard membership (read: Free) but can already see myself upgrading to Premium after I worked out yesterday ROCKING OUT to the most amazing mash-up/run mix ever.  If I tell you it's called "Saved by the Run" and is all 90's pop music, does that tell you enough?  I'm honestly thinking about the next time I get to work out so I can listen to it again...

Is my body too bootylicious?

Last night I went to shake what my mama gave me at Zumba.  Few things to note:
1. This Zumba class is called b.fab fitness and I'm the minority in the class.  It's not your typical Latin-inspired Zumba.  This is Bootylicious/Hip Hop/Street dancing Zumba.  I'm trying to find someone that can video tape this class because it's awesome.

2. $3 a class.  Can't beat that ANYWHERE.

3. Growing up dancing my whole life, this class gives me an outlet into my first love - dancing.  Sometimes in the middle of the class, I convince myself to try out for the Titans dance team.  Usually by the end when I'm red-faced and out of breath, I've talked myself off that ledge.

4. This is one of THE most intense and amazing workouts.  I actually hadn't been since well before training for Disney.  The last time I was there was probably...August?  BOY DID IT SHOW. Sure, a month ago I ran a HALF MARATHON but 15 minutes into the class last night, I was absolutely convinced we had been zumba'ing for 45 minutes.  It's good to be knocked down a few pegs to remind me I'm not totally perfect.  

Hopefully I can continue this Monday evening class schedule.  Monday's are tough for me, but I'm going to try.

Oh, also I got to rock some Plan G swag, which is always a plus ;)

Race Photos Follow-up

So apparently RunDisney reads our blog!  That's really the only way to explain that after last week I posted I was a little bummed they didn't get any pictures of Princess 1983 crossing the finish line holding hands, they sent an email with "More race photos" including this little gem:


I mean...that really is the only way to explain that, right? ;)
