Monday Morning Thoughts on Something New

I'm not sure how it happened but I was convinced that I need to take the Tuesday morning (5:30am) Kickboxing Class at the Y.  Not the Y near my house but the Y nearest my office.  This means toting all of my stuff and getting ready for work there after class.  I'm not high maintenance by any means but the thought of this brings dread.  I don't mind getting up early.  I don't mind morning workouts.  I have high anxiety about walking out on my coffee pot without turning it on.  There will be no time for coffee or breakfast before the class and I don't really want to eat anything before since I'm hearing it's pretty intense.  We'll see.....

More new this week... going to a beginner yoga class tonight at a real yoga studio.  I have always taken yoga classes at a gym where we couldn't have a traditional yoga atmosphere.  I'm scared.  This feels like it's for real and I suck at yoga although it helped heal my hip nearly two years ago.

I'm hoping to also get in some quality miles this week and maybe a track workout.  My weekly mileage has increased from nothing to around 13 over the last few weeks so it's time to make them count.  It won't be long and coach will be emailing to get me back under her wing!  Marine Corp Marathon is no joke and I will be taking my training very serious.  In the meantime, I have signed up for The Bear, which is a 5 mile race up Grandfather Mountain in July.  I hate hills but I'll have good friends with me that are sure to make it fun.

Here's to a great week!
