If you can't run, spin !

My stomach muscles are sore this morning – and I blame my dinner guests last night for making me laugh for 4 hours!! Had a lovely (and extremely funny) night – topics ranged from (now how do I make this PC) books, art, shoes, the female form, s-e-x, most embarrassing stories, meeting our beloveds, first dates, CR drinks, eating disorders (ok, that part wasn't funny), GC, runners (but not running), hotpants, wine...and so it went.

After yesterday’s double header (Spin + Satan - my toughest (exercise) day), a couple of glasses of wine with dinner and very little sleep, I pulled up remarkably well this morning and made it to the gym for the 6.40am Spin class. I was supposed to run this morning but (as expected) I haven't had an opportunity to buy new shoes as per Andy the Pod's orders - hence the second Spin class in 2 days. A good class; again I felt (I am) very strong mentally and physically. Today’s instructor was a lot more low-key than the Satanic Spin Instructor from yesterday – she actually didn’t say a lot during the class – which was good because I was off in my own little world this morning thinking, singing & spinning. I really felt today’s class in my glutes – no doubt a combination of doing a lot of climbs in the class and the effects of Satan’s difficult ab/glute/quad/hammy/adductor move yesterday. Favourite song from the class was the soundtrack to Rocky which has been stuck in my head all morning (Rocky’s a fighter, getting strong now...)

Off for a massage this afternoon. ‘Nuff said about that. The bruises from the last have now faded...

Feel like I’m fighting off a bit of a cold this afternoon. I’m due to do an upper body weights session in the morning but I will see how I feel then..

Tonight a post-massage bath & 30mins of stretching before lots of sleep...

Sounds like lots of secrets must have come out at dinner with those topics of discussion.

Hey, PLEASE tell me the guys in your spin class leave an inch or two of sweat on the floor at the end of a class ...
