I had a bonk of sorts last night. Instead of the ten mile tempo run I had planned, I bailed and went to swing dance lessons at the las palmas Cuban restaurant downtown.
I don't know if it was the 100 degree heat or that I just preferred the social activity. But I will probably not be as fast this summer as I had hoped. I've skipped some runs the last few weeks. If instead I am a better dancer then I will consider that a victory.
The swing lessons are fun and there are more women than men there most nights. That's all I know right now ;)

Does swing dancing count as cross training?
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your last run. I can't remember running in weather so hot! Stay hydrated and keep dancing.
Swing dancing is always inticing. How was the parnter? Makes a difference...
ReplyDeleteMy complaint about our 95 degree CO weather is paltry compared with your consistent heat. I acquiese. You win.

I would call that cross training. sounds like fun! you gotta beat the heat somehow.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely counts as cross-training...especially once you get good and move as fast as the pros do. It is quite a workout!
ReplyDeletePlease don't ask how I know...
