Last night the rain was miserable, it was cold and gloomy . . any other night I probably would have curled up on the couch in my sweat pants and let my Tivo hold me captive. But wait, its only rain, I told my team I'd be there for double spin sessions, I had to get over it. I wasn't going to melt.
So at 5:30 PM I set myself up on that spin bike to prepare for 90 minutes of spinning classes with Tara. She's so high energy, I knew she'd keep me entertained and I wanted the personal challenge.
During the first class there were lots of hills, lots of jumps, particularly difficult was jumping to Michael Jackson's song Beat It. Think about how many times it says Beat It in there - oh yeah the game we played was to jump at every instance of the word. My legs were burning and my mind was turning.
The 90 minutes gave me time to reflect on the challenge and after week one we really were beating our alibis and our bad routines. For the first time this year I found myself at the gym for the sixth day in a row, still working strong and thinking what will I try this weekend? Out of the corner of my eye I saw Julia sprinting on the treadmill outside the studio. She looked like she was in the zone. Hmm, I think I'll go for a run tomorrow!
Our group has set up a private discussion forum so every day I've been hearing about what my team is up to. Sarah shoots me a message about how she tried Burn on Monday then Tuesday morning was there for 6 AM Spin followed by an hour of Body Pump. Amazing! Janine's been hitting up the boxing classes trying to recruit for the next week. Mina and some other girls are setting up a group swim clinic next week to finally check out the Kennedy School pool. Some of the girls have some great experience swimming and want to teach us some techniques. How fun!
