Spinning Dizzy
I think consuming too many candy corns has me in a tizzy (whatever that means!). The past few entries I have mentioned that I have been cycling. I now have 24 hour access to a Lemond spin bike. B. turned 30 last week and as a 30th b-day gift to himself, he bought a spin bike (he has been saving for quite a while for this "little" expenditure....I promised it would not function as a clothes drying rack). Anyway, I have been using it a lot - but it is admittedly hard to push myself that hard 7 days/wk. So I have settled for 3-5 days as I enjoy my sabbatical from running.
Today I cranked up the "electronica" dance music and pretended to be Lance Armstrong for 70 minutes. The neighbors already think I am crazy so I was not particularly worried about the shaking house. It felt awesome to SPIN!! I wish I could muster up the motivation and energy to do it everyday :)
I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been cheering me on lately! I love this community of bloggers that we have formed and it always feels good to "preach to the choir." Everyone here has suffered through their share of injuries and set backs. I finally feel like I have learned to handle my non-running state with a bit of grace . . . and a sense of humor!
I am gettting excited about Chicago this weekend! I almost forgot that my good friend and her boyfriend from GBTC will be staying with B. and me. I cannot wait. J. is a 2:52 marathoner and one of the most humble and balanced women that I know. I look forward to taking her on a little tour of Chi-town.
I am procrastinating. Back to the books.
