Comments: I felt pretty good today! For a change I was not sucking wind like on Tuesday... We did a sped up warmup because the wind was freezing everyone and then ran down to the lighthouse for the usual timed run along the water.

For a change the wind was at our backs! That was awesome. John claimed we ran the roughly .75 mile course in 5:05. I was resolved to go fast today and maybe beat the 'record' (4:55) and so took off uncharacteristically fast. With about one quarter of the run left, this guy pulls a beautiful pass on me. It was like he chose his spot and then just did it. Very nice. I tried to stay with him but could not and opened up a 50' gap on  me. And then right before the finish Jim K also came around me. Way to go Jim!

Not to be outdone I hammered the stairs up to the bluff (no one stayed with me this time...) and also pushed the last run back to the finish as much as I could. I  must have been feeling competitive. :)

At the end we did eight minutes of this circuit. 10 jumping jacks, run to the next station, 10 push-ups, run to the next station, 10 steam engines, run to the next station and then 10 burpies. Repeat for eight minutes. Those damn burpies just slay me; it was really hard.

As I type this I can feel my calves contracting... Running just is not my bag. But this class is super.
