Total Distance

4.70

I almost couldn't wake up this morning. I ran 4.70 miles then went to spin for 40 minutes. If you don't know much about spinning lemme splain it. It is the indoor equivalent of outdoor road biking (Lance Armstrong style) can be very intense. Burns massive calories and builds long lean muscle. They say spinning helps a runner become stronger, faster, and helps the lungs be more capable of taking in more oxygen thus supplying the body with what it needs. The Saturday instructor is my fav. It's a wild crazy class- loads of fun.

Tomorrow it's me, my shoes and 10 miles. Nothing less.

I've only done spin class once. It was fun. I fell off my trainer once though.

I probably need to get on a bike more for cross training, but it hurts my butt way to bad. I guess that you have to build up to it? Good luck on the 10 miles tomorrow. I will be doing the same with some good speed work in between.

From Burt on Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 12:40:54 from 68.76.197.194

Yes, Tyler. You have to build up your butt.

From TylerS on Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 12:42:45 from 66.29.160.130

Any ideas on how to build up your butt, Burt? Never mind just pretend that I didn't even ask that question! I will just stick to the running.

Nice job Lily! I actually went to spin a lot during the winter and I felt that I bulked up! I also started having Sciatic problems that I later learned was due to the sitting factor (when you actually due sit) and strain on your sciatic so since I stopped going, I have felt so much better. Just a warning if you have any issues with your sciatic. However, I would be a liar if I said I didn't miss it!! Those were fun morning and very intense workouts. I can't believe you ran 4.7 in addition. You are an animal! Nice job~

Whoa Kellie, so glad you commented. My sciatic has been bothering me lately. Maybe it's time to lay off the spinning for awhile for me!! I still like it though. But if it's going to hurt me,totally not worth it!

Out of curiosity, where did you feel like you bulked up?

From Burt on Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 16:20:52 from 68.76.197.194

I am not going to answer that for her. LOL!

From Lily on Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 16:23:09 from 160.7.232.225

Burt you must be thinking her rear eh? It's okay....you can go ahead and say it.....there's not children around. :)

From Burt on Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 16:26:26 from 68.76.197.194

Yeah, just her husband who's 50 lbs less than me but could still take me out in 8.6 seconds.

From Lily on Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 16:27:41 from 160.7.232.225

LOL true dat!

Thanks for the encouragement. Who am I, Gi Gi from Daisy of Love?

Children around or not Lily, no one better be saying anything about my rear getting bigger!! :). Ha ha!! Actually it is getting bigger, but not due to spin, maybe it had something to do with eating a dozen cupcakes myself this weekend, WOW, I was out of control!! No, in all honesty, my legs started to bulk up and I noticed it in my clothes, etc. SO, we are done with that. I can not have any bulking up. I don't know if you knew Ali when she was lifting weights like crazy but we Lundell's don't establish lean muscle, we bulk and add to our already bulky bodies. That is why I need to be doing more yoga!! Anyone know of any good yoga places that do yoga locally from 6:00-7:00 in the morning?? That or a good yoga video??

From Lily on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 10:14:24 from 160.7.232.225

Kelly, bulky or not......you forgot to add Lundell gals are gorgeous!

I know what you are saying though. I can bulk up to if I am not careful....especially with the weight lifting. I can tell if I am have been lifting to much to often. I look a little manly :)
