The class itself was, uh... you know how when you see a toddler try to do the exercise video with mommy/daddy? That was me, the difference being, I was anything BUT cute. At least I was in motion the whole time, so I ended up burning 549 calories. So here I was, flailing around, primarily trying to avoid running into the other people, and here's barey up at the front, making jokes about how he should be more like Jillian Michaels!
It was fun though. Afterwards we did 20 minutes of resistance training for another 125 calories. In the end, I burned 675 or so. We finished up at Starbuck's, where I had a smoothie and got to know each other in person a little bit. That's where this picture came from, a guy who worked at Starbuck's took it with my Pre.
When I was done, I drove to San Francisco and met with John Pham, a runner from Chicago who's otherwise known as @phampants on Twitter and elsewhere online. We had lunch, then walked across the Golden Gate Bridge. I tried to get him to run across it with me, but he just ran the Chicago Marathon a few weeks ago and isn't quite ready for running just yet. He was also pretty worn out by walking the hills of SFO for three days.
I ended up getting to bed around midnight, which is what I expected. This morning I woke up sore, again, as I expected. I ran the scheduled 5 miles as a recovery run, given how I felt from the day before.

This afternoon I was WIPED. My kids had two birthday parties to go to today, and seriously, at the 2nd party I napped in the car. Tomorrow I have a 12-miler that I'm not looking forward to. I wish I had a day off! It's all good though.
