LIVESTRONG CHALLENGE 5K Training Week 9 Part II

Kickboxing...where do I start, but by saying I suck ass at it! Rita, my best friend, texted me saying did you kick ass tonight? Uh, no! If confronted in some kind of fight I now know that I would: A. run away or B. cycle away. I started the morning by hitting a spin class for an hour followed by a full body strength training session. I was telling "Killer Rachel" I wanted to do another spin class again tonight, and she suggested that I join her since she teaches the kickboxing class. I thought I could hang, right? She taught me some alternative steps to take as to not put too much pressure on that bum leg of mine. I will start by saying I am not coordinated. I am a klutz without a doubt. I love to dance, but to the beat of my own drum, hence never being successful in any dance class. I was in there just a kicking and a punching every wrong way. All that was going through my mind as I looked in the mirror was that song, everybody was kung-fu fighting ta da da those cats were fast as lightning, as I looked like an uncoordinated goofball! I guess I am uncoordinated due to lack of concentration and focus. I think my heart rate got up to decent level, but nothing off the charts since I spent most of the class trying to be on cue. The best part was 15 minutes of ab work at the end, cause you can never do too much abs. Dr. Mc Dreamy date tomorrow, hoping I get cleared. I guess I really won't know till I try to run again.
