Not Just Saying but not writing either...

So I have been gone for a while.  A long while.  I haven't been doing much running because my leg is still being a cry baby.  I have been doing some cross training, woo!  As if my nether regions hadn't had enough abuse, I went to spinning yesterday morning.  This instructor was pretty crazy.  It was non-stop intervals at a "seven" in the saddle.  That's spinning speak for hard work!

That evening I went back to the gym with Alex and did some strength training.  Oh, how I have missed lifting things up and putting them down!

:)

I have been in love with the soreness in arms and chest today.  It gives me a sense of accomplishment.  Nothing says strength like not having full mobility of your arms. 

Tonight I tried out Zumba for the first time.  It's the new generation of Jazzercise with a Latin twist.  I didn't like it.  I hardly broke a sweat.  I'm not a crazy exerciser by any means but I almost came home and banged out a couple of miles on the treadmill....almost.  I realize that an instructor can make or break your experience so I will give it another try.

Don't worry folks, the night was not a complete let down.

I doubt the mole sauce has enough chocolate in it

I have no idea why I didn't take any pictures of the finished product.  This picture certainly doesn't sell it.  In fact, I'm pretty sure it's not selling anything but Imodium.  Despite the picture, dinner was a success and the mole was one hundred times tastier than it looked.

What's your favorite way to cross train?

Do you eat disgusting looking foods?

Spinning with Stacers

Today I took off from running since I had plans with my friend Stacy to take a spinning class.  I'm pretty annoyed with my leg because it's still giving me problems.  I was concerned with how spinning would affect my leg and hoped it wouldn't make it worse.  

Well, it was an awesome class.  This is only the third spin class that I have taken but it is always a great workout.  I love me some running but spin was great and didn't bother my leg!  Bonus!  Even though I loved the workout, I was not in love with the instructor.  She was spouting out random facts about the percentage of adults that are dehydrated, don't eat enough fruit, don't eat enough veggies, etc.  Shut up, lady!  

Unfortunately, he was not in my class

In other news, after we left the rec center, they had to evacuate the rec center due to a fire.

Something weird is going on in Woodbridge....Our Target closed due to a fire just last week....

Do you love spinning?

Have things been burning down in your town?
