I had this wacky idea of taking the Zumba fitness class at West 13th (because Gina Ann was subbing for Andrea while she got licensed for Aqua Zumba), Amie&#8217;s Zumba fitness class, and then running a 5K.  I figured that there would be enough breaks in between so it wouldn&#8217;t be a big deal.  However, I started to feel tired from doing the two hours of Zumba prior so I told Brian that we should probably just walk.  Brian wanted to run, though.  So we started off running.  As I suspected, he gave up a quarter of a mile in.  It was pretty sad.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/7103674043\/\"  title=\"2012-04-22 16.10.03.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5442\/7103674043_59934b9ec6.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2012-04-22 16.10.03.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We weren&#8217;t even power walking.  We were meandering like a couple of tourists.  We even stopped to take photos at a couple of spots.  And to think that Brian thinks he can complete <a href=\"http:\/\/toughmudder.com\/\"  title=\"Tough Mudder\" target=\"_blank\">Tough Mudder<\/a>.  He can&#8217;t even run a 5K.  I have no room to talk, though.  I&#8217;m not built for running either.<\/p>\n<p>Oh the bright side, Brian and I had the most stylish shirts there.  I customized our Run 4 a Reason shirts so ours were the most unique.  I turned Brian into a sleeveless shirt, which he said he wouldn&#8217;t mind wearing to the gym, and I turned mine into a cropped, destroyed shirt fit for Zumba.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve decided that we&#8217;re going to participate in the Bank of America River Run this year, and I doubt that cool t-shirts are going to cut it, so we better get training.  LOL!<\/p>\n<p>Brian&#8217;s work had their National Sales Meeting at the Broadview Hotel this year.  The food was catered by Corporate Caterers and was better than in previous years.  I think they may never return to the Hyatt.
