"There'll be a load of compromising, on the road to my horizon, but I'm gonna be where the lights are shinning on me....." (just a little blast from the past that I was contemplating today as it played on my ipod at the gym). Spin day, went to bed TOO late to get up for class, so I did my own at the gym. Used my ipod to help set my cadence as I hit different hills and sections of the ride. Broke it up into 2 really good effort 30 min sessions with some resistance, balance and PT stuff in the middle. First ride was 'peaks' it kept the resistance 4.5-6.0 the whole time except the 4.0 2-3 minute start and 2-3 minute finish. I completed 9 miles and 300 calories in the 30 minutes. Sweat was dripping in my eyes...no towels around when I started, feeling good! Second ride was a random program that looked good. Nice hills, but some 'downhill' or nearly free spin time too. Bumped the top resistance to 7 since it wouldn't stay high too long. I really used the music on this one to keep my cadence steady as I was going 'uphill'. Completed 9.5 miles and nearly 300 calories for this ride. Good sweat again, but I'd scrounged up a towel so I kept my face dry :) Finished with a good 10 minute stretching session. Happy to feel the heart pumping and working again!! Makes me want to run....
