Call Me Maybe

Yup.  I know I'm only a couple months behind but it is kind of awesome.  And great songs make going to the gym easier.

But seriously.  Workouts.

Monday - Treadmill.  So I wasn't feeling great Monday.  My body was giving me hints not to go to the gym but I was ignoring them.  I have been trying to walk on the treadmill before I get back into running so Monday was a walk on the treadmill day.  I was shooting for 3 miles but only made 30 minutes (about 1.5 miles).  My left leg (not the PT leg) was killing me!  I listened to my body (my PT Heather would be so proud).  I was disappointed for not finishing my work out but knew that I was doing the right thing.  I went home, took two advil, and iced my leg.  I'm learning that advil and ice are my new best friends and I should get to know them very well.

Tuesday - Spin Class.  I having going to a new workout studio that opened recently - BodyRok.  It is awesome and they have great spin classes and teachers.  I was racing home from work to try and make my 6:20 spin class.  Fail.  I got home at 6:10 (starving) and knew it was a 15 min walk plus 5 min to get ready and grab a snack.  The classes are only 40 minutes so I knew I would come in quite late and disturb everyone else.  I felt guilty (I had to pay for these classes) and I could have sat on my couch and watched some great shows from my DVR BUT I didn't.  I looked up the group fitness schedule from my local crunch and motivated myself to go to a 7:15 spin class.  I got there earlier to reserve a bike.  I hadn't had much luck with getting a bike at crunch before.  The class was great and pushed me which I needed after yesterday's depressing work out.

Now I need to find time over the next couple of days to exercise.  Like I mentioned I tend to overcommit. Tomorrow I have a cooking class from 6:30 - 9.  Thursday I have Kickball and Happy Hour.  Friday I am meeting up with a friend for drinks.  Saturday is SF Vintner's Market.  I am going to need some creativity to find ways to make it to the gym.  I'll let you know on Sunday how it goes!
