Five for Five

Today I was lucky enough to not have class so I was able to finally make one of Alisa’s spinning classes. It’s the first one in the 11 weeks of the challenge. It probably wasn’t the best one to make since she had us simulating a race and riding at 85% of our max heart [...]

Neglecting the Weights

I think with trying to do everything I’ve let a few things slide, like lifting weights. I know that the best way to burn fat is to lift weights, but lifting weights wasn’t going to help my finish my triathlon. I really felt like I needed to run, bike and swim as much as I [...]

Interesting Info About Spinning

I was doing a little reading on the internet about spinning this morning. I had a little extra time to relax since I didn’t go to the morning spin class. I skipped it so I could go harass green team leader Jodie in tonight’s class. The first site I came across was one selling [...]

Week 11 Goals & Progress Report

I’ll keep this short and sweet. I need to stretch everyday and run. I’m also going to try to spin 5 days this week. Eat more salads and fruit these last two weeks. That’s it!
Here is my stat sheet for the first 10 weeks of the challenge. It’s interesting so see the patterns, but more [...]

Solo Spin Class This Week

I slacked off on my spin commitments this week in favor of resting up for my triathlon on Saturday. I should have really thought about which class I would attend if I was really going to be cutting back this week. I ended up attending Jody’s spin class tonight, and as usual she kicked our [...]

Giving Ptown Spin a Second Try

I have to admit I was a little nervous about giving the Mussel Beach spin class another try after the first class. Don’t get me wrong. It was a good workout, but I’m not sure I was really following anyone’s lead there, and the music was so stereotypical “gay.” The gay boys loved it. They [...]

Rainy Saturday

Dinner 6pm
Originally uploaded by dr.coop

The rain didn’t slow me down on Saturday. We had another open house, so I had to clean for two hours before I went to spin class. I made it to Sherri’s spin class at 9am. It was my first class with her. It was good. Lots of speed [...]

Come On Legs! Push, Push, Push!

Jo Novelli over on the Foothills Revolution Spin blog has been posting her Missy-ism, or saying that her spin instructor says during class. I haven’t attended one of Missy’s classes in a while, but I happen to get a couple of the same instructors each week. There’s Rock ‘n Roll David on Monday mornings and [...]

Spinning with the Enemy

Yep! I was right up front so Jody, Green team Leader, could see the YELLOW! Although I was wearing black. Dang. I should have worn yellow. Oh well. So what was I doing at a spin class on a Tuesday at 5:45PM? I felt guilty for not going to tri class. Have I even been [...]

Moving On to Week 4

I’ve got to run more. I just know it. I just can’t motivate myself to do it though. It’s so hard, and I have a serious mind block about doing something I used to be so good at, but now I suck at. I just know that if I can run some distance, I can [...]
