Briefly changing it up...

I obviously love to run. If I could run every day I would. For over two years I have committed to a marathon training schedule and always prioritized my workouts around running. However, after Philly, I decided to take a little time off from it all. Not only did I need to heal the body, I mentally needed the break so that I wouldn't start to hate running. I've trained 11 months out of the 2011 year. That's a long time. So running became secondary for a while. I wanted to change it up a bit...

...and that's what I did.

Yoga, swimming, core classes, spinning, weights, days off... I did it all and loved it all. But... there was one thing I did during my break that I fell in love... Love at first 'class'....

Peter Welch's Boxing Gym

Bring it!

Livingsocial had this amazing deal that I couldn't turn down. 5 classes for $25.00? Sign me up!

It is basically a cardio boxing class with punches, pushups, burpees, punches, jump rope, punches... Let's just say that I almost puked twice at my first class and once at my second. Improvement right?

But I adored it!

I am pretty bummed that I only have one more class left. Not sure if I am willing to pay $199 a month for a membership. But I am not too worried. Running season started up again. And as you all know... I obviously I love to run.

BOOM!
