Modern Dance at the MET

Today after work I went to the Houston MET to try out their Modern dance class. 1.5 hrs of professional instruction. The teacher was really good. I was transported back to the world of contractions, extensions, relevés, arabesques and tendus. It was pretty cool. Of course the MET kept is reputation of difficult classes that are fast paced. I did my best, to memorize and keep up. I'm glad I went. I think in the future I will try to be a regular.

Head is still kind of clouded. Focusing is not easy. I think I just need to conquer these hurdles one by one and be done with it. Erg.

ConocoPhillips Training Ride 11 - New Waverly

Today drove out to New Waverly with Leigh for CP ride 11. I dunno but this weekend has been a really sluggish one for me. I didn't really do anything yesterday except teach Phillip how to clip in and clip out. Then this morning I dunno but my head just didn't feel like it was into the ride. I tried to keep up my speed on ups and downs, but that really wore me out fast. After 25 miles I lost my groove. I was tired, and probably under-fueled. erg. Still managed 51 miles ~14.6 mph.

Now I feel really restless and anxious for some reason. I feel like I need a nice relaxing yoga session. Hopefully I can sleep tonight.

New Kicks

Thanks Luke's Locker. Got a lot of good feedback from Justin, the sales guy. He also worked at Bike Barn for a number of years. Apparently I have a good gait and don't keep my foot on the ground too long. I roll the outside of my foot just a little much. But otherwise I can get any neutral shoe. Cool.

Got 10 days to break in my new Nike's. Here we go.

/edit

In response to Danimal on the Vibram Five Fingers. I totally want those. But probably not a good idea to run long distance on pavement in those. Our forefathers didn't have to chase their food on asphalt.

In response to Gau on forefathers not having Vibrams. They are more hoss than me. Plus they killed their meat before they ate it. I get mine from HEB in plastic wrap with an expiry date.
