jogging # 1! / tap dance class # 1

Today I went jogging!! I got out of work early because of MLK, and the weather was so beautiful--temp in the upper 40s, and blue sky! I got changed and went right out for my jog. Because I didn't have any time restrictions I went for an extra long way: I started off on the same route, but then instead of turning left on Dartmouth Ave I went across the train tracks, jogged in that neighborhood a bit, then cut through campus, past the swing, back across the train tracks on the other end of campus, past the athletic fields, and out onto Harvard Ave. I was out for over 45 minutes, I think. It was awesome. I got stitches in both my sides but kept on jogging. So happy!

Last night I went to the first tap dance class. I was tired and grumpy, but I ended up really enjoying it! Unlike flamenco, it was fun, and Lynn and Susan were both all happy to see me when I got there. I was just planning to do it in street shoes, but since everybody else has tap shoes I decided to order a pair for myself. Found on ebay for $18 including shipping. Boo yah.

What kind of tap shoes did you order? Are they heels or flats? I don't know which I prefer. I learned with heels but modern tap generally uses flats. Actually I think it's easier in heels, though.

I bought flats. Everybody else in class had flats, so that seemed best. I'll let you know how they work out!
