Another Futile Attempt

This morning I got up around 8 and decided I was going to go to spinning at 9:30. I got to the gym at 9:24, and then had to wait in line to have my card swiped...and wait to go to the bathroom...and wait to fill my waterbottle. I finally got to the spinning room at 9:32 and lo and behold...no more bikes. ARGHHH. So, after a few breaths of 'poor-me' fuming, I trekked back downstairs to run on the tredmill. I was wearing my bike shorts though, so running with a huge pad on my butt felt like...well...running with a diaper? blech.

I started at 5.2mph and increased the speed by .4mph every 2 1/2 minutes. By 15 minutes, I was running at 7.2mph and stayed between 7.2-8.2 until I had done 30mins. I ended up with about 3.5miles in 3o minutes. Not bad considering my warm up was so slow. I felt good with being able to do 2 miles at a sub-8 minute mile. On a tredmill, of course...so I'm not sure if it really counts...but it was at least good practice for the indoor tri next Sunday!

I'm going to go swimming later this afternoon. Now, time to practice!

Thanks for checking out my blog -- it really is kind of fun!

I'm very much looking forward to spinning with you next Friday... I'm anxious to see how you like our instructor and his music.
