Latin Fusion

So, last Tuesday I decided to try the Latin Fusion class with my friends Kara and Alison. WHAT WAS I THINKING?!!!! LOL Dont get me wrong, it was a lot of fun... but as I tried to follow the instructor who was emphatically teaching us to shake our hips and look "So Sexy, Ladies..." I just couldnt get my body to do what she was asking us to do. She looked sexy and flirty as she danced, I only looked silly and ridiculous. As she showed us how to "shake it" I wondered, "well now how do I get it to STOP shaking!" LOL

Honestly, I had a lot of fun, and really didnt care what I looked like, as long as I was burning calories. It was fun way to increase your heart rate without realizing you were actually working out! The only problem I had was my feet. They both hurt so bad... I couldnt keep my shoes on... I think it was the orthodics I was wearing? I dont know... They wern't even the real orthodics... they were the ones the doctor gave me to wear when working out... Half way through the class I just couldnt take it anymore, and took off my shoes, and finished the rest of the class bare foot. (Why not? I already didnt fit in, Might as well complete the look! LOL)

Anyways, that really worries me. If I cant even get through a class on my feet, how am I going to run??? I need to go back to my doctor again.... There goes another $75 co pay! Sheesh!

I've been in Rehab....

So, after badly spraining the same bad ankle 3 times in a 3 weeks span, I decided I need to stop training and work on strengthening my ankles. So, I've been doing these ankle excercises I learned in physical therapy when I broke my ankle in 2007. I'm still walking a mile a day as well. My plan is to start running in the pool once I can afford a swimsuit that fits me.... all I have are stretched out maternity swimsuits... LOL

Anyways, this setback will keep me from running in the Londons Run, but I will be ready to run in the Pat Tillman run in April! That will be 4.2 miles! So, the journey goes on!
