Rest week-ish

Just laying around, getting fat this week. February 1 starts a whole new life. Stay tuned.

Hellooooo 2010

Good morning to all 2 of my readers. I figured since it was a solid 6 months since my last post I would write a little something.

Today I went to my first spinning class (or cycling, whatever you want to call it). I was the only male, the only first-timer, and was the youngest by at least 15 years. I guess that's what I get for going at 9:00AM on a Monday. I've used those stationary bikes before when warming up for my lifting workouts many many times so I knew the setup and all that. Going into it I figured you get out of it what you want-- so I went hard. Since there are mirrors all over the place you can kinda see how you compare to everyone else. People were getting up and getting water, turning the fan on, or just slacking. The instructor lady was very nice and energetic. She had us go up "hills" which made me chuckle to myself. The last long ride I did was 112 in Canada, so I thought "lady you don't know what hills are." All in all it was fun. You get out of it what you want.

Other than that things are okay. As all 2 of you probably already know, I'm not doing an Ironman this calendar year. Long story short: it takes a lot of physical and mental preparation and I don't think I can invest all that this year. I have a lot of other things I need to accomplish... things I can't have as a secondary priority. I'll still train a lot because that's just a part of my normal routine, and I'll do a few sprint tris or something here and there, but I just don't want the deadline of a race looming in the back of my mind.

I weigh 170.8 lbs today. I like this weight.
