Spinning

                                                                  

Spinning......my new obsession.   Lately, my buddy Tisa and I have been spinning.  The treadmill just seems too much for me mentally somedays.  Tisa is happy to oblige me and keeps showing up, some days at 05:45 am.  The only problem I am having is my tailbone hurts for a day after each class.  I tried a gel seat cover today with no difference noted.  

I plan to run Friday during the day outside if the weather permits.  Then, there is a 5 miler this weekend with the local running club.  I haven't actually run 5 miles in some time, so  we shall see.......

This past Tuesday, I went to Strasburg to run with my friend Morgan.  This was her first run outside after a few months of training indoors on the treadmill.  What an adjustment this can be.  I am proud of her for a great effort.  I remember how hard the transition was for me and how self conscious I was.  I know eventually, she will love being outside and it will keep her mind challenged. 

Another cold 5k, more or less...

Just completed another SVR (Shenandoah Valley Runners ) sponsored event.  Just short of a 5k.  It would seem the usual course was too muddy so modifications were made to all paved  roads through the nearby park.  The attendance is really up this year for this winter series, which is great.   I think I overheard that 175 people came out today.  My card number at the finish was #100.  I am  cool with that.  It would also seem, my speed is going nowhere quick.  I am rather consistent though which is great.  I know my training is not what it was in the fall with the half marathon.  It is fun to be a part of the organization though, a family membership is $15 a year.  

Have a great day!  My training for the Apple Blossom 10k will start ASAP.
