Healthy Weekend

It's been a very healthy weekend. Jazz dance class started finally, woohoo! The teacher and most of the students are sooooo pro. I could barely keep up. Not exactly the most coordinated person. But it was fun and a good workout. To be honest, I've been skimping on the exercise lately. When I was training for the marathon, I ran regularly. But I've maybe ran only 3 or 4 times since. My exercise lately has mainly constisted of walking up and down the escalator and stairs during my commute to work and back home. The jazz teacher actually incorporated a lot of yoga-ish stretching into the lesson. Very relaxing and nice to feel the strains on my shrinking muscles. The dance moves are pretty complicated, lots of spinning and intricate hands and feet movement. I've already forgotten most of the moves by now. But still have 9 more classes to go, there's still hope!

Today was our first land-training session for dragonboating. It's with a bunch of church people. We've named ourselves "The Ark":) We were joking we should dress up as pairs of animals in the boat. We'd be the cutest team at the race! It was nice to have the opportunity to get to know more people from church. ECC is a pretty big church, so its nice to be able to get into smaller groups for activities like this. A bunch of us had lunch together before heading over to Happy Valley Sports Ground. I discovered one of the girls taught at my old highschool CAIS, just after I graduated from there, small world! Surprisingly my legs were still functioning after dance class from the night before. Worked up quite a sweat. Our coach led us through a bunch of drills like the frog jump, situps, pushups, etc. I'm quite eager to get to the sea-training part next next week. Can't wait!

And Easter holidays is comng up!! YAY! Only 2 more days of work! Will be going to Hainan Island with Coco:) Can't wait to be lying on that beach with a good read.

Feeling healthy, happy, and thankful.
