HUMID. Sweated through two tshirts almost immediately. Felt really fit and good, though.
But DJing is really beginning to cut into my dancing time.

Lots of hardcore work. Sweating buckets in the humidity. Good fun!

Excellent! The Unity Hall band plays excellently long, fast songs. They do take long set breaks, though, so these weren’t two straight hours.
HUMID.

On carpet! And on wooden floors!
The first social dance of the year – excellent. Hips ache a bit from the work I did on Monday, though. Strangely. Serves me right for neglecting my stretches and exercises.

Went well, but feeling a bit tired now. Time for a rest day, I think.
Also: have been slack with stretches and exercises for last three days and really feeling it today. Bad athlete!

Two dance work sessions in a week and I’m feeling it. Will probably only get one run in this week, though, so it works out.

Weather: windy

Currently 4/5 effort 4/5 duration 2:00

One hour of pretty hardcore high impact stuff, one hour of more complicated yet lower impact work. Win.

Finally over the allergies. Did some pretty arse-kicking work and felt much better for the exercise. Warm and a bit humid, but not too bad.

Weather: sunny

Hot, sweaty fun. Rock n roll! Lindy hop! Actually really felt the week’s exercise – bit fatigued and lacking the stamina during the night. Though actual fitness is good.
