As I said last week, I decided to step away from the instructional side of Group Kick and use this week to prep for the 5k run I have on Saturday. I still went to my normal classes...in fact I still attended two Kick classes at the gym.
The first was on Saturday. This time around I went as a general attendee. It was nice to see myself in a mirror and make sure my technique was sound. As an instructor, you have to face the crowd so you have to base your technique on feel. For the most part, I feel the same as I did before. Kicks need work...yadda, yadda.
The hardest part of the class was "unreversing" myself. When instructing, I work as a mirror image of the participants. Basically, when I say "Right," I have to display my left and vice versa. Undoing that was a little challenging.
After Monday and Tuesday classes, I ran 3.1 miles (or 5K). I didn't got at a killer pace...just kept it easy. I know that the rush of running in a crowd will increase my overall pace, but I know I won't be winning anything.
Kick on Wednesday was the same as Saturday. I was able to figure the "right/left" issue much better this time around. I had Boot Camp afterwards and called it a night.
I was planning on hitting the gym one more time on Thursday until I realized that I had a bike club meeting (HA!). I got two days of rest instead of one. Can't complain about that.
I'll have an update posted tomorrow after the 5K.
