Spinning Sucks

I went to my first spinning class yesterday and I decided that I hate spinning class. The seat was hard and uncomfortable and so painfully far up my ass that I couldn't push myself cause it just hurt more the harder I pedaled. Then when I stood up on the bike, my feet cramped so much that I was just managing pain by alternating sitting and standing instead of concentrating on working out. Plus, all the people in the class were ridiculously hardcore - like biking cleats and spandex is cool, hardcore.

The good news is that I was determined to go yesterday. Firstly, I was feeling depressed after going to court with my favorite student and he was convicted of two felonies (complete bullshit, but that's another story). But I decided to go anyway. Then when I got in my car, the gas tank was empty, but I decided to wait to get gas so I could make sure to reserve a bike for the class. Then I got to the gym and realized I forgot my shoes. I was about to give up, but I decided to reserve a bike real fast, then run home to grab my shoes. I pushed my car on empty and sped home, then while speeding back to the gym, a cop started following me. I thought, "If this guy pulls me over, forget it. I'm just not meant to go." Luckily, he let me go with a dirty look as he drove by. I feel like it was a victory in that several things that may have stopped me when I was the old me - didn't!

Now I've just got to do that everyday. Only not on those stupid bikes.
