Last bit of Ketchup--training

This past Saturday was fun. After having problems convincing a couple of girls to go running with me earlier in the year, I convinced them that I could act as a trainer to them, which is free, vs. going to the gym and paying.

My scheme worked quite well. On Saturday, we had our first workout. I was training five girls in Regent's park.

I didn't realize how small London really is until we walked to the park from my hostel. The other side of Regent's Park is...you guessed it...Regent street, which is where my school is. It would take me about an hour and a half to get to school walking slowly. Not too bad, right. Attainable. I was really surprised.

Anyway, had a relatively easy workout. Relatively, as in I wasn't really tired, lol. But it was really great. Got to go to a park and run for a bit, then we did some abs in the grass, being careful to watch for droppings, and finished off with a few sprints. Nice, right?

I liked seeing all the dogs, honestly. I will never bring Kathy to a park here. There are just too many dogs. We wouldn't be able to get anything done! Cat and I actually went out for a run on Tuesday and a couple of times the dogs just came right up to us. So sweet.

Monday night me, Cat, and Amanda ran to Primrose hill--very safe, lots of lights and opens to the street on all sides--unlike the heath at night, which I hear has been a well known male prostitution spot? Oh the irony. Anyway...Primrose hill is beautiful, you get to the top and you see the entire skyline of London. It was stunning at night.

Back to Saturday--we pretty much spent most of the day working out--felt it the day after--and then watched Sex and the City at bedtime. It was me, Amanda, and Rebecca...the girls I am closest to at the hostel...and we were downstairs watching the first season of the show. Well, the nun's kitchen connects to this great room and we were sitting with our backs to the door. Well the sweetest of all nuns comes in right after a nude scene and we nearly crapped ourselves. She didn't notice, but did tell us to be careful watching movies at night because it is bad for our eyes when there is no light on, lol.

Anyway...fun times...
