I did not do much in preparation for the NYC Half marathon this past weekend. There was just too many things that were all over the place, and I just could not focus enough to do the run. I think that I was supposed to run 7.5 miles this weekend. Actually, I tried to do it on Friday, but lack of motivation defeated me. However, I did complete a fast 3 mile run. So that is something . . . I guess.
Saturday I had a nice cross training session where I lifted for a bit (biceps and triceps) and participated in a bootcamp class.
It was a decent class. I find that sometimes I cannot focus on a workout and I need to sign up for a class where someone is telling me what to do. I will say that Krista is a very enthusiastic instructor and I will gladly take another class taught by her.

Random thoughts for this:
- Why are spanish-langauge cartoons shown in the Bushwich location of Crunch? There were no kids working out.
- There is no way that a beagle would be a chef. They are too greedy when it comes to food.
- That said, the chef's hamburguesas marinas did look delicious
Why I hate the MTA
I was really lucky that I decided to cut my work out short after the bootcamp (I was going to do some lower back work). I get out of the gym to catch the J train (Saturday Brunch Day). I actually ran up all 80 million stairs to catch the train, because one was in the station. Looking forward to having multiple brunch beverages (ultimately undoing my work at the gym), I hear the conductor say that the J train is not going to Manhattan after Hewes Street. Then at Hewes Street I see the MTA signs.
The annoying thing is that I usually keep up with the service changes but this one caught me by surprise. However, I was able to make it to brunch even with the extensive delay of taking the J train shuttle bus.
Ok back to doing work and I hope my running mojo will return this week.
