Dom Ran For Beer – Kind of.

Sunday was the Dogfish Dash. The day I’ve been waiting for since my 30th birthday. The day I had somewhat been training for. Finally! I arrived in Delaware late Friday night/early Saturday morning. I had to pick up my packet from the Dogfish Head Brewpub on Saturday evening. I went with my BFF and P, … Continue reading →

Happy week two fellow FUFFers! I apologize at the brevity (and lateness) of this week’s entry, but I spent over six hours in the car today and have been trying to get myself organized after a whirlwind weekend.

Embarrassment at Zumba.

Tonight we were learning a new routine in my Zumba class. One of the moves involve gyrating your hips in a circular motion. My friend, L: You’re good at that. Me: Oh yeah!

What day is it?

I spent all day yesterday thinking that it was Wednesday.  It was kind of a downer realizing that it was only Tuesday, but that also meant that I had a Zumba class!  As I mentioned before, the condo complex I live in started offering Zumba classes for residents in their community room for a small … Continue reading →

I can’t breathe.

So last night was the first class of the newest Zumba session.  As always, it was a lot of fun, and I’m excited that our instructor is incorporating new moves and songs into our routine. As fellow Zumba-ers are aware, these classes can be pretty popular.  I’m used to the class size being around 25-35 … Continue reading →

Toning with Maracas.

Tonight kicks off the next session of Zumba classes for me! I will be taking Zumba on Mondays and Tuesdays with Zumba Toning on Thursdays. What is Zumba Toning, you ask?
