One of my best workout buddies is my friend Angela.  We're both 100% always honest with each other and like to help coach each other to new athletic accomplishments.  She's the bomb.

Last night we were texting back and forth (me in TN, she in VA) about both working out this morning and how we'd text each other to hold one another accountable.  Since she's an hour behind me, this seemed like a great idea to me.  Then I didn't sleep well.  I think I heard her text me twice, but I was definitely still sleeping - I needed to sleep a little longer this morning.....

Then my phone rang. That's right. When I didn't respond to 2 text messages, she CALLED me. What an awesome work out partner.

I got up and headed to the gym.

Sponsor Love!

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 ;)

Run for you..Not for anyone else.

Holy Crap. I absolutely want this.  For...you know, when I start running again in 2 months :)

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? ;)
