I ran for 45 minutes on the treadmill this morning. Average pace was 7:20 per mile. After running I decided to take Zumba, just for the fun of it. I felt particularly dorky today, but I thought, "if the man sporting the oxygen tank can do this, then so can I." I think I'm going to feel it in my calves tomorrow, since I spent most of the class on the balls of my feet. Today's class was much more difficult than the one I took two weeks ago.

I love your quotations. I've had that thought about "the guy with the walker" at my gym. :)

I like to people watch at the health club. Zumba class was full of interesting characters. Most of them looked better than I did trying to do Zumba.
