Week 14 – Day 1

Spin Class – 55min

I don’t know why I do spin classes instead of riding outside. Maybe because I’d push harder for longer with a group of people than by myself? I know that I’d do my workout but I think there’s some added benefit to doing with with others. I use these as building strength but I will also be using these to pair with swimming. Eventually these will fall to the wayside once I get my trainer set up in my new basement! I’m so excited to move in. I just need to find a treadmill for winter.

I plan to have the bike trainer with my Argon and a treadmill towards the back of the room. I’m going to buy a TV for the wall as well, set up my old computer down there to run the Computrainer program and watch TV shows. My friend Leanne has a Wahoo Kickr and after reading about that, I’d like to get one of those and sell my Computrainer too. If you’re interested, let me know 😉  I plan to leave some room between the TV and bike/run stations so I can do some yoga/stretching/p90x etc.  I’ll have some nice thin shelves for all my shoes, helmets, wetsuits and other fitness related gear, maybe even a bench and some dumbells and a bosu.

Back on track…

Spin class was fun. There was this section where you “run” on the bike, no bouncing, and any one person could make everyone go for however long they wanted and then stop when they wanted. I forgot one time, I think they were pissed at me. I did it again just to push them….and myself.

So I wanted to swim afterward but forgot there’s an aquaerobicize class that was 1/2hr from ending so I packed up and started to leave. When glancing at the pool I noticed that there was a lane open. Had I known, they usually leave a lane open for lane swimming! Damn it! Oh well. This kinda throws off my schedule and won’t know if I’ll be able to make it up because of my move. This week (like prior weeks) isn’t going to be the best for training. Hopefully I won’t hurt my back moving all those boxes on Friday :p
