Thursday 3 Km Steady 15:16 Mins - Azelia

It was beautiful (but cold) out today. It was sunsetish and clear. Azelia and I ran the same route as yesterday - to the right at the Yaletown entrance of the C wall and to just before the restaurant part of the route. We ran a slower and steadier pace today. Although - I noticed that we run faster around people. We are both too competitive!! hahaha!

I feel so grateful that I can run without pain. I am glad I waited for the screw to come out. I am glad I let myself heal. I am so happy that I have a beautiful city to run around. I look forward to my next run. 

Wednesday 3km 14:35 MIns- Azelia

This was a quick run to just where the path changes before the restaurant section and back. It was clear out and dark but well lit. Azelia and I ran with our music in our ears this time. She is so fast!! We have to bring it down a notch if we are going to go longer distances!! Good run!! No pain :-) 

Wednesday 5:30-6:30 Hip Hop - Roberta

JP has gone to Edmonton? I guess that is why the last class was so busy.. it was his last Wednesday.

Today's class was small - about 7 girls. The teacher, Roberta, yelled yah!!! A lot... she was high energy and good. She taught clearly. We did about 40 seconds. It was quick and there were lots of little movements. I got it a couple of times but not awesomely. It is definitely one of those dances you would like to do for another class and really get all the movements in the fast music.

I wonder if she will be teaching next week as well?

Saturday 1-2:30 Jazz - Moe!

I can jump and bend. I am so happy. I loved being back in Moe's class. It was fun warming up and going across the floor. Her routine was nice and flowy and feel good. I was trying and I think I successfully kept in time with the music. I was counting... and I was trying to connect with the music. (I don't eat till dad gets home?)

ATF
1. walk, walk, jete, jete, step retire balance. Repeat starting with other leg.
We did this again and changed the rhythm of it and the retire hold could be anything but a retire.
2. chaine, chaine, chaine, chaine, down, repeat, prep double, prep triple.
Prep wide with the back leg so you can brake... before you turn.
3. run, run jump, ball change, little, big, biggest
4. Step, jump, step, jump, step, jump, step, jump.  - This is when I realized.. hey... I just jumped and landed!! I can jump!!

Friday 4-5:30 Bikrams West End - Michelle

I had an awesome class today. I stood left front beside an older gentleman who had a trying smile on his face the whole time. I did everything although I did come out of the first floor bow a bit early. I am really happy that I have done everything that I set to do at the start of the week... I just have one more class to take tomorrow to make myself successful and that is my first class back to Moe's Jazz class. I am super excited about that. I am really enjoying the variety of activities that I am doing instead of always just yoga.  I think it is better for my body too. I won't end up overusing certain parts of my body ... I hope! 

Thursday 4:59 km 25:07 min. - Azelia!

This was my second run and it was nice out and it was dusky on the way back. Azelia and I met at the Blenz corner and then walked down to the water. We didn't listen to our music cause we had so much to talk about. We ran under the Burrard Street bridge to the Ferry stop by the start of the beach - the dog beach and then back. It was so nice. It didn't hurt at all. I am so happy I can run again!! Azelia's back of her knee was hurting her a bit. I hope that she can still run with me. It was nice to get to chat and catch up. Ok... time to chill with Jonny!!

Wednesday 5:30-6:30 Hip Hop - JP

Is this my first time dancing since ... no!! I went to Ya... We Dance! Ok... it was a good class and a bad class. Today was good because I stood on the opposite side of the studio. I never stand on the "dark" side.  (It really is dark when they turn the stage lights on.) I moved because my usual spot was so full with cool kids and this side was empty. I like space. It seemed like a good move for me. I think I will stand here again next week... if I can remember to break my habit.

I liked the routine. It was flowy. I wasn't hitting it like I wanted to but I know I could have given more time. I would like to do this routine for another class. I wonder it he has taught this one before.

There were some awesome dancers at the end. I liked to see their interpretations... of funny and sexy moves - sharp and smooth.

It was a bad class because I felt fat in the shirt I was wearing - but whatever.. I will be back to normal soon. I was also distracted in my mind. Jonny is out drinking and I was wondering what excuse he would leave me on the phone as to why he wasn't going to meet me at home like he said. He is also a creature of habit. Maybe he should try standing on the other side of the room?
