Well, I guess I am in the second looser of this race according to RAD.  ;)  I didn't even know I was fifth place until I looked at the race results the day after the race.

I ran in circles for five hours; I am officially insane.  Here are a few highlights of today's VERY long run.

1. I brought my husband to a race in which he planned to run a a half marathon.  Well, his run turned into 28 miles.  I was proud of him, his longest run of 2012 was 10 miles. :)

2. I got to run the first 13 miles with RAD and it went by rather quickly.  When she told me we had already ran 9 miles, I was not happy.  I told her not to tell me where we were until we reached 20 miles.

3.  I knew David was about done with his half, so I went to run with him a little.  That little bit turned into me leading him around the track.  I started counting every ten laps and then call out for a rest.

5. 15 miles in my left foot was screaming!!!  Running one direction killed my arch.  Every time we stopped I limped.  Changed shoes and it helped a little.

6. I was proud to run part of my 21st marathon with my husband and finish with him. We walked for about 40 minutes after we finished.   

Great day, did not feel like I had ran a marathon.

One hour on the elliptical. 30 minutes on the bike.  Legs feel ready to run again but I will wait a few more days. 

I thought Texas would be warm but I was wrong. :(  I hate the high of 50 around here.

Aerobathon!!!!  2013

Today I wanted to try the Aerobathon that Randolph AFB gym was offering.

Hours of the event were from 10:30-1:30.  

Zumba (30 min): First on the chart was Zumba and there was barely enough space for everyone to fit in the room.  The class was taught by Grandma.  Seriously, this lady was 60+ years old.  The class was ok in large setting but I will not be attending her class.  She sings, says her steps out loud and kind of scares me.  Her little Grandma friend (also 60+ and not even 5ft) taught one rump roast dance and a kind of threw up.  

Step (30 min):  Kind of a boring step with a million people.... Everyone managed to have a step.

Kickbox (30 min):  Pretty fun high intense class for 30 minutes.  If I am sore tomorrow, I think it will be from this class.

Yoga (30 min):  I think this class took the icing on the cake for the day, it just felt so good.  Wish they would have saved this class for the end because I just wanted to stay on the floor relaxed when the class was over.

Cardio Fusion (15 min):  This class was not my favorite but I know it would be an awesome workout.  A lot of hard power reps. 20 minutes was enough and everyone cheered when the class was over.

Reps and Sets (20 min):  Worked the arms with light weights, I think I would go back to this class.  Lots of ABS.

Spin (20 min):  Pretty good class and teacher, I would go back for sure.  The bike seats were unusually hard.  Cool spin room.

Cool day at the gym.  I got home and I was really tired and hungry, guess that means I worked hard.  Still felt like I could go run 10 miles.
