I am in a fairly advanced high power class. I am usually sweating a lot.

There are a lot of Latin dance moves and booty shaking involved. I also call it twerking class.

The group is a good mix of very advanced girls and beginners, so I can adjust to my level. I usually need a few classes to get the moves straight.

All the leg work is really helping with leg muscles which will then hopefully help with my running too... I also think that a lot of the moves help with feminizing my movements outside of the class.

There is one or sometimes two male in the class, the rest are all women.

Give it a try, it is a lot of fun, can be really sweaty and exhausting. Just bring lots of water [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

ROFL twerking class... Maybe I'll try once I get back home, just went back out on the road... out here until thanksgiving. I probably need lots of help with feminizing my movements.

My friend gave it to me a few months ago. He then always brags how much expensive it is.

Sarah1979 · October 05, 2018, 06:57:07 PM

They are expensive, maybe after I finish my transition I can get one

Sarah1979 · October 07, 2018, 05:33:19 AM

Long run, 12 miles, 11:16 average

Would have been faster, but I had to stop and talk to the cops who had blocked off the road I was going to run on. Fortunately, they let me go as they had only closed it to vehicles because of the crazy dense fog this morning.

Anytime honey! I'm doing the Turkey Trot this year in Fairfax, VA. I was going to do the one in Lynchburg with my cousin, but due to my coming out experience with him, that's out. See you on the road!

Yay virginia!! RVA here

I saw your post about the Hokies, so I figured you were down that way, but I don't think I'll be going dorm there much anymore after my coming out to my cousin, who coincidentally, is also a Hokie.

Hugs,

Sarah

You know, I might do the 10 miler next year, just not telling my cousin I'm there...

Yes. Running is a kind of long-term goal. Start slowly and think that you will still run in 10 years. Many people stop running by injury within a year as they start too fast. I still run very slowly, fearing any injury in waist and legs.

I use a very particular technique that largely prevents injuries, I just hate running in the rain.

Hugs,

Sarah
