I was reminded yesterday that if I wait until I get home after 6:00 or 7:00 I'll be too tired to go to the gym, so I dragged myself out of bed this morning for a quick 3 miles in the Cardio Cinema (The Notebook) before Eric drove me to the bus, with hopes for 2 or 3 more before Eric and I try a spin class this evening (maybe too optimistic, but we'll see). 8:34 for the first 2.25, then 8:00 for the last .75ish, and the incline set at 1.0 for the last 1.5.
PM: One mile before the spin class (8:00), and one mile after (8:34). You know the sign at the door that says no saving seats? Yeah, that's not true. But Eric and I got the last two bikes when we showed up 10 minutes early (also like the sign said), so who cares if we didn't get to sit next to each other? (I do.) Anyway, the first half of the class was probably the hardest workout I've had in a lot of years. For the second half, I either stopped trying as hard or it got easier. I decided that running + spin class every day would probably give me the body I want. And I decided that right now I don't want it that much. :) But Eric and I are thinking that maybe we'll try the class once a week.
