Zumba in the park

Yoga today was easy, but good.  I believe that counts as my stretching for the day!  I’m 4 for 4 in the August Fitness Challenge.

But let’s backup to last night…  One of my girlfriends asked me if I wanted to go to a Zumba class Wednesday night.  It would be free, but it’s outside at a park.  Hmmm… let’s see.  It’s our 32nd day over 100 degrees, we are having record-setting high temps (around 110), so of course I said, “Hell yeah!  How hot can it be at 8pm??”  107 degrees.  That’s how hot.  In case you were wondering.

There was a nice view at the park.

I brought 3 bottles of water in varying states of frozen-ness. (Is that a word?)

Am I blurry from the heat??

I thought it might be miserable, but really it was very, very fun.  It wasn’t too hot, I drank all the water, and the instructor was really good!  I’ll have to look her up and see where she teaches normally.  I really miss Zumba.  It’s how I lost all my weight (75 pounds! WOOHOO!) because I never got bored with it.  I could tell my hips and shoulders were out of practice.  Zumba would probably be great cross-training with running…

Well I’m off to a Chamber of Commerce bowling mixer.  I got a “new” bowling shirt.  Dad said, “Bowling attire required!”  I don’t think he knows what he’s in for
