Cruisin'

I was pleasantly surprised by all the mileage I was able to get in last week while on the cruise. I ended up doubling my scheduled time!

Though I didn't run, I was able to get in almost a daily swim at the mini-lap pool and three spin classes.

The spin class instructors were these two highly energetic Aussies with a preference for going hard and playing Australian pop songs. I left each of the classes drenched in sweat.

Aside from the swimming and spinning I even got in some ocean kayaking in St. Maarten. above is a pix from the beach we launched from. The winds were quite strong so we ended up paddling around the Bay and eventually landed at a neighboring cove to snorkel around. After checking out the reef and lounging around the beach, we launched our kayaks and headed back. Needless to say, my arms were sore the next day.
