I warmed up twenty minutes and then ran a fartlek workout. 3 x 1,2,3,2,1 minutes with 1,1,2,11 minute recovery. I felt pretty good for 6 am. 6:53 average. I'm trying tp ramp up the training a bit. I'm having a tough time getting focused and serious, but I will get there eventually.

Later AM: I took a zumba class. My usual zumba instructor was gone. So, I ended up taking zumba from a one-armed zumba instructor. She was terrible. Not because she had one arm, but because she couldn't stay on beat and her coreography was boring. I get frustrated with poor instructors. Yes, I'm being mean and snobby. I should have taken cycle class instead.

I will run the Leopard 5k and Salt Lake Half Marathon. Beyond that, I haven't decided. Still waffling on Grandma's vs. Chicago. I'm struggling with my confidence right now, and it's holding me back from going after that OTQ again.

You are so prejudice against one armed people...I've always known this about you. Ha ha! Just kidding. Sorry your class sucked.
