Spin Class

Rugby pre season has arrived. We start practice on Tuesday. Our first game is Spetember 18.

I really took off-season at it's word. ;-)

I have been pretty light at the gym since season ended on memorial day. Fortunately for me, I played two post-season tournaments in June so I can be self righteous about "needing a break". (yeah right!) Unfortunately, the excuse wil have little solace as I am huffing my way to death during "Zig Zags". That is the bizzare fitness excercise our coach has devised to up our fitness or get us desperate enough to kill him. Whichever comes first.

So I am joining the rush to jump start my season. I have good company among my teammates. One of which has joined the "Spinista" (spineesta) That being those who have converted to the religion of the bike that goes nowhere. He dragged me to class on Staurday (Thank god).

It was OK. I wasn't blown away either out of amusement or because it gave me the workout of my life. I didn't quite give it my all as I was figuring out the technique and my mind wandereed to challneges in my life. But it was great to be back in the gym.

But then, today, I got this craving...to go to a spin class.

And then I found myslef at the 4 PM spinfest at my gym. I had a blast. It was engaing (fun is not the right word for a good excercise) and I worked my butt off. Zig Zags here I come!
