My Bharathanatyam classes on Saturday mornings - I thoroughly enjoy my classes on Saturday mornings. Everything about the class is just PERFECT! I love the timing and I relish my 15 mins slow drive to the class on Saturday mornings through inner roads - the roads free of traffic, my car playing my favorite SPB melodies and me soaking up the morning freshness and scenary.
I have new found appreciation for this dance - its sophisticated and impressive style. Also, I adore my teacher - her talent and her way of teaching.
My group long run on Sunday mornings - As a part of my half marathon training my long runs are on Sunday (early) mornings. And that is the only run in the week that I do it with team ASHA runners. I have missed it couple of weeks only on unavoidable circumstances. The first day I joined them was a 3 mile run, the next week was a 5 mile run and both went well. The 6 mile run has been the hardest one so far - I had severe shin splints for the first 3 miles during the run. The only thing that kept me going was the 3 runners who were running about 20 feet ahead of me. I kept my eyes on them and just kept moving. The other half was much easier once my shins eased up. It is one of the toughest but yet one of the fulfilling runs I have ever had. I am sure that I made 6 miles in 72 mins only because there were other people doing it along with me. So group runs really do work for me. The 7 mile run was also great and since I have 3 other ladies running in my pace, I make it through the runs and am actually having some fun. Tomorrow it is going to be a 8 mile run.
I do struggle to make my 3 weekday runs that I do by myself in a nearby gym. Some weeks are great and some weeks I slack. But I have got my stamina back! I am able to run 5 miles/hr all through the run. I manage to even hit 5.4 miles/hr in between but not for more than 10-15 mins continuously.
