Protected: Five Things Friday
February 3, 2023Book Review | ARC Review | No One Needs to Know
February 5, 2023My first week back at OTF! I had done some workout previously when I was pregnant with Hailey and then after she was born – but I always struggled to fit it in due to the class times and the waitlists to get in to the times that worked with my schedule.
They opened up a location about 15 minutes from my house a couple years back – so I’m going to that one!
I felt so great after this week! I love the variety of the classes. I think it’s also really helpful that I am not currently trying to get too many runs in so I’m not caring as much about my mileage. I can just enjoy a workout instead of try to figure out how to make it work with different runs. We’ll see how it works when the weather gets nicer and I will be training again for running, but not going to worry about it for now and just get in as many as I can while feeling good 🙂
I took 5 classes this week and I haven’t had this sore of abs in a LONG time!!
