Summer Plans

If I were a rich gal... Well, I'm not so have to cope with a little less. And I'm of course talking about summer ballet classes! Last year we had only once a week, 90 minutes on Wednesdays - of which I missed first weeks, because of the ankle operation. This year we're getting double, yay! Monday & Wednesday, 90 minutes both evenings. And a litttttttle bit of pointe work every now and then. (The only problem is that my pointe shoes are no good. Bought a bottle of shellac, will try to bring life to an older pair...)

My dream week would be having a class on Mon, Wed, Fri and Sat. Streching on Sun. But as things are how they are (and I live where I live), I'm taking those 2 classes and taking up running/jogging instead. Last Autumn I won a pair of very good running shoes from a sport store, it's about time to try them out. Found a reasonable "start-running-instruction-set" from the mighty interweb, have to print it and put on the front door. It has stuff to do every other day, for 11 weeks. And it starts quite slowly, so it will probably suit me just fine and dandy. I've Never been a runner, ever. Hated it at school. Riding a bike is okay, dancing is super, playing football/Finnish baseball/etc. is okay. But just running - nope. So you see, I'm really challenging myself here. Luckily I've got a small mp3-player (no ipadspods...), so have to load it up with inspirational music.

So, weekly plan looks like this:

Monday → 18.30-20.00 ballet

Tuesday → running programme

Wednesday → 18.30-20.00 ballet

Thursday → running programme

Friday → home gym & extra streching

Saturday → running programme

Sunday → running programme/home gym & extra streching

There are also 3 "compensation" tickets that I can use in summer aerobic classes, have to check the time table if there's anything interesting. Fridays would be ideal for them (or some Sundays).
