AHHHH!!! sigh ofcontentment

I did it! I made it through the day- and beyond my expectations in many ways... lots of physical demands - but it went well. feels good to be working hard again.

I slipped in the spinning prior to Yoga, wich worked out really well. The students left by noon, and the sudden change to silence is almost violent it comes so fast... along with the blanket of dark cloud and rain- it was an afternoon to unwind...

SPIN: Workout # 1
- I'm looking forward to when I can afford to buy my trainer from Berg Bikes... soon enough...
- for now, I'm at the gym spinning. I go to the mirror and commit considerable time to adjusting until it feels flowy and ergonomic.

- I didn't realize I should do a 15-20 w-up.. I only warmed up for 5 minutes.
- Then into the 3 minute intervals until i'm at the hardest gear with cadence... BAH! this was sooo hard... I was fine for the first 3, so committed to the right cadence. Then it got hard at 4, and then the last set I couldn't do, my legs were sooo tired. I decided that the 90 rpms was more important than muscleing through a hard gear. I just geared down and spun it through? WOW! hard stuff...
- 5 min easy
- 2 min one leg/ 3 min both/ 2 min. other (fun, I liked it)
- 10sec. surges were good and tough, but never felt impossible. I worked halfway through at keeping my shoulders and face relaxed... oh when i get hardcore (its like my nerdy 3 pics from the marathon where my tongue is sticking out! so graceful)
- 20 minute cool down. YAHOO! Felt great after.

YOGA: with only a 25 minute break, I bolted to yoga. I was sure that I would be mostly incapable of keeping the strength poses- but I was pleasantly surprised with my strength and stability. Lots of core work in this one, and no flinching.

now its time for lentils and movie. hoorah!
