Spinnnnning

Yesterday marked our first spinning class. It was actually pretty hard... It is similiar to a staionary bike, however you can increase/decrease the resistance by twisting a knob, and you have to keep pedaling the whole time. The constant peddling is what makes it harder than a normal bike, no coasting allowed!
The "Coach" was "biking" at the front, running us through a series of excersizes. After a short warm - up we are told to crank up the resistance and pedal hard.... My legs were slightly sore pretty early on. (I'm guessing the rock climbing AND running I did the previous evening didn't help). Anyways, we basically just kept pedaling, increasing and decreasing speed and resistance for the whole 45 minute work out. The "hills" were pretty rough, especially when you'd be feeling tired, then be told to raise the resistance, or pedal even harder. However, the blasting of "since you've been gone" during one of the rough parts, helped to overcome the tiredness. I mean, who can be tired with an image of blake (/everyone on spring break) screaming SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE!!!!... at the top of their lungs?
Overall, it was not that exciting. However it did beat being outside in the 30 degree weather. ouch.

In other news I fit in a swim this evening. Attempting some Freestyle stroke. I think I was doing it, it did feel awkward though. Tomorrow is an early morning "trail run." Should be exciting.
