Day 21...My favorite night of the week. Thursday night run club.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing people come back each week. Turning unfamiliar faces into familiar smiles that are ready to sweat, work hard, and create a positive energy for that one, small hour.
Our workout was tough. We pushed harder last night, running from the store to 11th and San Vicente. Elongating our loop and adding on extra blocks felt great and truly amped up the intensity of the run. After the tougher, slightly uphill trek back, we concluded with my new favorite - running a bootcamp on the grass at my old stomping ground, Brentwood Science Magnet. Stations consisted of planks, sprints, bear crawls, crab walks, squats, and burpees.
With everyone thoroughly out of breath and wiped out, we headed back to the store for a special surprise from our veteran run clubbers....a HUGE bag of Diddy Reise cookies. Not a bad way to end the night.
Day 22. The simplicity of running three blocks and having a yoga space and a bar studio are amazing. Today consisted of a quick jog and a trip to Pure Barre. I finally caved and got my sticky socks. After an hour of legs shaking out of control, thighs burning, and sore abs... I ran home to watch the Laker game. Fingers crossed.
Day 21: A nice long walk with Evan and the dog in the morning and a beautiful power flow class this evening.
ReplyDeleteDay 22: ebb and flow yoga class - i sort of thought it was going to be more chill, but it proved every bit as challenging as the day before.
