Spin Class Freak

Wednesday night I hit the weight room for back, biceps, and abs. It was a quick, efficient, pretty uneventful workout. Last night I was planning on going to my Masters swim class for the first time this year, but due to some unforeseen circumstances (well, not all that unforeseen -- I hate swimming), I decided to hit the treadmill instead. I did my third run of the week at 7:35/mile pace with a bit of a speed pick up at the end, and the entire run felt very smooth and easy.

Today at lunch I hit my gym for a spin class. I learned from last week's mistake and made sure to reserve a spot in advance (which still seems ridiculous to me -- I go there to spin, not for a five-course dinner). The class was pretty tough and I was sweating like crazy. The highlight (or lowlight, as it were) of the class was this one really strange woman. She was at least sixty and was wearing a long-sleeve top and leggings. At first she was clapping her hands during the class, which the instructor quickly put a quick stop to. What he could not stop was her swaying and rocking her head to the music and basically doing whatever she wanted rather than following his instructions (I think she was singing a bit as well). Gotta love NYC -- there is never a shortage of freaks! Below are my training totals for this week:
  • 3 runs (1.5 hours, or 12 miles)
  • 1 spin class (40 minutes)
  • 2 weightlifting sessions (2 hours)
