Let Down

Today was a bit of a letdown all in all. I kept trying to give it second chances but the hits just kept coming! Woke up a little early for my liking... but I decided to get myself to the gym and make the most of it. There happened to be a Zumba class in session. I haven't been to Zumba in forEver. Since 24 hour fitness actually which was back in october! I have been wanting to give it a try at LA fitness...so this was my chance. Or so I thought............................. WRONG! I went and gave it 30 minutes... but it was Awful. The instructor was soo bad. Maybe it was the song, or maybe it was the atmosphere of the class I dont know. For one she did it out of a boombox, which wouldn't be the a problem, but the sound didn't fill the room, and she didn't make up for the energy that Zumba needs. All in all I was majorly disappointed. So I didn't waste an hour of my time I left the class halfway through and did 30 minutes of cycling and 2 miles on the treadmill with some hill training.
My new thought is that when I do my gym workouts they are going to be more aimed at strength & cross training and short runs that include intervals and hills. My longer runs need to be more outside now that it is getting SO close to the race.
I'm not giving up on Zumba... just that particular instructor. I'm going to try it out again here soon when I can get to another class.
