Begin Again

I took a little break from running after the Ragnar Relay: Wasatch Back.  I just didn't feel the desire to run like I did before. I guess my body needed the extra recovery time.

 About a week ago, I started to feel the need to run again.  So, I ran in the Run the Crooks Out of Town 5k on Tuesday and  it felt great.  The participation and unity that comes with running in a huge group of people shatters the alone feeling we can experience when our mundane activities seem to be taking over.  My run was a rejuvenating one.  And fun.

FUN was also running from the race to my car to my Zumba class!!  At one point during the class, I thought I was going to fall over, but my legs survived and it was worth every minute.

Zumba!!

Oh, Zumba!  How I love thee.  Let me count the ways:

Salsa

Tango

Hip-hop

Merengue

Soca

Mambo

Boxing

Bollywood

Belly dance

Shelley

The other class members

Yelling & Screaming

Oh how I have missed you and love that we have become reacquainted.  Continuing our relationship will surely improve my lifestyle.
