well it was supposed to be a relaxing week of vacation...

brad and i decided to take a staycation this fall instead of traveling anywhere. we planned on sleeping in, hiking, mountain biking, and maybe staying in downtown asheville for a few nights... but then we got this little booger:

so those plans changed quickly. we did finally pick a name... LYLA. although miss pisser might have been more accurate. seriously, her bladder must be the size of a teaspoon because she pees every 15 minutes. 

this morning and yesterday morning i got up and went to pure barre, which just opened in asheville. 


i have always heard such good things about these classes but i've never had the opportunity to try them. loved their store front and studio and they were all so nice and welcoming! so far i've really enjoyed myself. i've never done anything with dance at all (except watch center stage fifty 'leven times), so even though the movements are totally new to me, i can still do them. 



i signed up for their 5 week introductory package so i'll post more throughout and do a summary post at the end (this coming from the girl who still needs to recap the flying pig 3way and the downhill at dawn marathon, eh).

did you ever take dance classes?

  2. Pure Barre is so expensive here but I have friends that love it! And don't worry about being behind on race recaps. I've got like 12 to do still. Lyla is so freaking cute!
