Tonight, I joined a friend at Pulse Fitness for one of their Tread and Tone classes.

It’s a pretty awesome studio, they have cool decorations all around that totally pump you up.

Fitness needs a little glam sometimes, right?

The décor is pretty swanky and chic, even in the bathroom!

Inside, you feel like you’re working out inside of a lava lamp. It’s a little dark, and the lights feel more like a nightclub than a gym.

Before the class, I had a Coconut Larabar (my favorite!)

The class was an hour long, but it flew by. We did 10 minutes on the treadmill, 10 minutes of weights and so on for an hour. I ended up running almost three miles when all was said and done. It was hard! There were lots of sprints and inclines. I did my best, but I couldn’t really keep up.

I almost felt like the class was so hard, it was anti-productive. Obviously I got a great workout, but it was so hard, I quit a few times and just stood there. But I’m pretty sure I’ll still be sore tomorrow anyways. It’s good to switch it up once in a while.

To say my legs are sore would be an understatement. I admit I wasn’t properly trained for this race, and my muscles are definitely paying for it now. I see an ice bath in my future.

Tonight, I rolled on my new foam roller for 15 minutes or so. ooooh! It hurt so good!

My IT band, quads and hamstrings are feeling it the most this time.

But no shin pain! Hooray for compression socks!

Tonight, we made the first of our freezer full of Dream Dinners.

Paired with some steamed green beans, and we were in business!

And for dessert, I will be snacking on this beauty! A treat from my friend Erica

That would be a red velvet whoopie pie! DELICIOUS! Thanks!!

We’re off on a two mile walk and then relaxing for the rest of the night!

This morning, Erika and Timmy and I headed back to Circus School!

We went the first time a few months ago and it was awesome, so we went back for a second time!

This time the class felt MUCH harder than before. There were more stations and they did some more technical tricks. I was sweating by the end!

The best part is always hanging upside down on the trapeze!

Erika and Timmy were much more coordinated than me!
(Look at that Upside Down Pike!)

Last time I went, I just couldn’t flip upside down on the Ribbons. You have to do this and then jump so you flip over:

And this time…I did it! I flipped!! I just closed my eyes and jumped and I went all the way over. It was so exciting. I squealed out loud!!

I felt like jello at the end. Circus School is quite the workout!
