Exciting Week

This week I managed to get to the gym and it felt great to have the endorphins running through my blood stream again. In the first session on the elliptical, I noticed that I was able to go for much longer than I did last semester before I had to start slogging through the remaining time. I hope that indicates that I've made some progress in the last few months. Quantitatively, my training consisted of 3 stretching sessions (mainly hitting my calves which have been feeling like rocks) and 2 cardio sessions including the elliptical and a Zumba taping.

In other exciting dance news, Loyola After Hours organized a salsa lesson and dance on Saturday with an instructor from out of town. Though the group consisted mainly of beginning dancers, they held a "competition" between four couples. My friend, the Zumba instructor Jordan, was approached by one of the instructors to compete to have at least four couples. I ended up leading her in the competition. We "won." The prizes are a dance pass to the DC Bachata and Salsa Congress in August and a hotel room during the event. 

Slightly less exciting, Chicago deal of the day was $20 for 20 hour-long group Argentine tango lessons at ARTango that never expire. This is a ridiculous deal. I bought 40 hours; I smell a summer project.
