Back in the saddle again

[prosodic]

Went to 24 Hour gym on a one week guest pass.

Somehow, this one week pass got extended to a 24-day pass. Hey, I won't complain! Almost a month for free! Awesome!

So I went to the 24Cycle class, otherwise known as spinning.

And hehehe. I broke the bike.

Never in my 3 years of spinning has this happened. It was pretty funny. The girl on the bike next to me was cracking up.

We were sprinting (and I noticed that I was sprinting twice as fast as everyone else...why were they so slow?) and it felt like the chain just snapped and I no longer had any resistance on the bike.

Luckily, someone had vacated a bike a few minutes before that, so I took over their bike and continued.

Anyway, if I decide to join this gym, I get a pretty generous military discount. I just need to work out my schedule and figure out when the best time would be for me to hit the gym. Their 5:30 AM 24Cycle class is an hour long, which would put me at 6:30 and having to be at work by 8, with a shower and breakfast and a bumper to bumper commute to squeeze in. Their latest evening class is at 5:45, and I'm not sure I could be there on time. Plus, that's their most popular class, so I would probably not get a bike if I don't show up super early.

I'm going to be super sore tomorrow. I didn't miss that feeling. But I'm basically starting over again.

Congrats on getting back to the gym!! Looks like you're finding that balance you want for your life. I'm sure after a couple of weeks at your new job and you'll be able to work out an exercise schedule that works for you. :)

I've been meaning to ask - what kind of dog are you & Lance considering?

We plan to get a black lab.
