Comments: Jim K was at the class today which makes a huge difference to me... Having friends there is such a boost.

The first part was normal/easy and made tracks to the beach pronto. And then raced right back up! It seems there are two timed runs they do in this class, one is along the beach and basically flat and about .75 miles (this one takes about 4.5 - 5 min) and the other is this trail that goes all the way from the sand up to the top of the bluff (this one takes about 5 min).

The first time we did this uphill run I managed it in 4:50 just barely going under Jim's record of 5:10. Today I somehow hauled myself to the top in something like 4:26 with Jim in second place at something like 4:44. God, half way up I feel like I'm breathing through one of those little straws they hand out to stir your coffee with at McDonalds... I hate that feeling.

Very satisfying though,I wonder if this is sustainable. :) Or if I'll implode and log a massive time the next Saturday I'm able to attend.

Just as Jim and I were congratulating ourselves it was time to hit the sand pit for 24 solid minutes of circuit training. And this is when it started raining. Half an hour later we are ALL covered in sand and soaking wet. And my legs are shaking from all the power hops and cone jumps and sandy hill sprints. The closest thing to a rest we got was the plank.

But I would not show up if it was not a great workout!  I'll see you in two weeks, for sure.
