I wrapped up last week with 20 total miles. It felt good to be back on track with my mileage. This week is going to be a little different. Art in the Park is on Sunday and I’m going to be using most of my free time to get ready for the big day. Like today, for example. After work I finished up three paintings of cocktails that I had started on Sunday. Instead of getting in a few miles I chose to prepare for the show. And these paintings are so happy and fun. I really enjoyed painting them. I like the colors and fun subject matter. I think these paintings would look perfect in someone’s kitchen, or bar area.
Yesterday I attended a Bodyflow class at Gold’s Gym. It’s a blend of tai chi, yoga and pilates and it’s set to music. It wasn’t exactly a tough workout, but it was a nice change of pace. I really like doing yoga and I would love to take a yoga class, but there aren’t any offered when I’m free. There’s a Bodyflow Level 2 class on Friday and I think I’m going to try it out. I know nothing about tai chi, so that was a little awkward. I had to keep watching everyone to get the moves right, but it flows pretty quickly so it was tough. We used the tai chi portion as a warmup before diving into the stretching and balance of yoga, and the lengthening and toning of pilates.
I’m not sure what the rest of the week will bring in terms of running and working out, but I plan to go to Bodyflow 2 at least. I will have to get back into it next week!
