I overslept for spinning.
I really wanted to go. I even had a weights workout planned beforehand. The class is at 9:30, for goodness sake. I should be able to get up by then. But no...I roll over and glance at my clock/cell phone and it's 9:45. Class has already started (the 6am class is obviously done, at work, functioning as normal human beings), and I'm in bed. Lazy. Ass.
So, today I will put my bike on the trainer and bike that way. I will do it. I'm just scared I'm not putting it on correctly and am going to ruin my beautiful, perfect, new bike. But, I'm a capable person, right? A bit slow-to-the-upstart today, but capable nonetheless. I will persevere. I WILL GET MY WORKOUT IN!
Last night the Bike Workshop was great...there was a huge 50% off sale at the bike store and I had to use massive constraint. But, I managed.
Okay, I got a few things (bike shorts, bathing suit, tri top, and running top). But they were great deals, and I needed them. No, of course I didn't really need them. But, I'll definitely make great use of them...and 50% off really is a lot. So it's okay, right?
After the workshop we all went out of BW3s...where they are serving Christmas Ale. For those of you who miss out on Great Lakes Beer...jeez, just somehow get your hands on some Christmas Ale during its limited season this year. It's amazing...and I don't even like beer that much. This stuff is just plain awesome. To prove my point, every single person on the team who ordered beer ordered this famed Christmas Ale...
Okay. It's later than usual, and I'm still (obviously) blogging. Time to practice, and then attempt the bike/trainer thing. I'll let you know how it goes.
As a side-note/explanation why I'm being a wimp about this: Did you know it is actually possible to fall off your bike while it's on the trainer? It is. I've done it. yikes.

Oh geez..i should wear a helmet when i cycle on my trainer then :)...I love the bike trainer. It is easy to exercise..i can rush home, change and hop on the bike. I don't even have to wear a shirt (it gets mighty hot)....
When I bike outside, i have to spend 15 minutes just to get ready..with the trainer..i think i need only 2-3 minutes.
Can you do me a favor?
After you put the bike on the trainer, but before you start pedalling, could you set up a camcorder?
Just aim it so that you can get the bike AND the wall directly in front of the bike all in one shot. Then hit "record." THEN get on the bike.
Just in case.
I believe it is possible to fall off the bike on the trainer. I fell three times one day. Now I keep the darn thing set up like a stationary bike.
50% off is no time for restraint - go wild girl! Go get more stuff.
cy--still haven't put the damn thing together. when i do though, you'll be the first to know, i promise. :) video is actually a great idea (although i assume you were kidding)--maybe i could win some cash from bob saggot or something...
