Dancing

Alek and I have started taking ballroom dancing lessons in preparation for our wedding.  We're not good enough at this point for me to really consider this cross training.  We stop and start to get advice on where we've messed up and we never really get our heart rates up.

So why am I even talking about this on my blog?  Form is very important in dancing.  It's something I think about abstractly when I'm running but I don't pay much attention to it.  Our dance instructor is constantly impressing the importance of good posture on us.   As someone with not so great posture, it's good to spend a couple of hours every week working on it.  I also find myself more aware of my posture when sitting or standing at work and while running!

I'll give another update when we're good enough for our dance lessons to count as cross training :)
