Not sure what I did in class last night, but I hurt the little toe on my right foot and it still hurts this morning. No visible injury, but if it's still hurting by Saturday morning I'm gonna be really annoyed cuz I'm really looking forward to taking the Beginner II class again. Even last night's class, which really ought to be called Beginner 1.5, seemed slow.
On the other hand, my balance wasn't as good as it was on Saturday. I wonder if that's a pattern: more stable in the AM and less stable in the PM? I'll try and keep track.
One of the barre exercises we did last night was fondu - développé - relevé, repeated en crois several times. This promised to be hard on the calf muscles, but it turned out not to be that hard when we did it. At least not to me. By the end of the sequence my calf muscles felt tired trying to hold releve, and I couldn't get as high as I did at the beginning, but it didn't hurt like I thought it would. And later on, when we did the "aerobic" part at the end (changements, échappé, and a chasse - arabesque sequence) they didn't feel overworked.
