Zumba Exhausting!

Mist, Me and the Pip

I am so tired--all day dancing and dancing 

and dancing. I learned so much new choreography, new moves. A total workout for the mind, body and spirit. There were 3 Canadians taking the training. The other 2 were from Vancouver. Joy Smith, our trainer is from LA. I love Zumba. I love the music and the dancing. Though, I will have to go crazy doing Zumba every single day if I want to teach this stuff. I figure I will attend other's classes 3x a week and practice my dvds everyday at home. I need to teach about 12 songs per hour of class. That is a whole lot of choreography! And it is a hard core cardio workout, so I must get myself super prepared. Like I mentioned, I love the dancing so it will be fun preparing to teach. 
I almost thought I'd leave Zumba Atomics training for later because the day was exhausting and so much info to digest. But Joy said I should just go ahead and get Atomics certified too as she doesn't know when she'll be back up in Washington again. And who knows how long I'll have to wait until they teach it again in BC. So....as pooped as I am tonight, it looks like I'm going to get up and do it all over again tomorrow.
I will post this tonight as I will be too busy in the morning. I have to pack up everything--we are leaving for home after my course ends tomorrow. That means driving through the Coquihalla at night and arriving home sometime after midnight. Monday, I have a meeting with my thesis committee. This is a crazy busy time for me. I will be so very, very ready for the meditation retreat on the 13th. I'll probably go into shock though--suddenly silence and stillness after this crazy month may be too much for me!
Seattle is such a cool city--would love to spend more time here. I've flown in and out of Seattle hundreds of times but never stopped and enjoyed the city before.
