One thing I have thoroughly enjoyed is the weather. 80 degrees almost every day. It's perfect. A group of friends and I went to the park this past weekend and enjoyed hammocks, frisbee and tennis. Four years on the tennis team in high school just went down the drain for me! I am terrible now, it had been over a year since I'd played so I guess that's my fault. All to say, it was a great day and fun weekend full of beautiful, sunny weather!
Today I finished perhaps one of the hardest workouts I have ever done in my life. I went to a spin class with one of my friends (which I had never done before) and it kicked my butt! If that doesn't keep me in shape then I don't know what will. I have to admit I felt pretty good afterwards, so I'm going to try to keep it going. The hour consisted of changing resistances from a "light jog" to a full speed sprint. Then to change things up a little, our instructor would have us get off the bike at the end of each song and do 10 push ups. This doesn't sound hard, but when you're out of breath and can feel your heart beating out of your chest it's like you've got a 200 pound man sitting on your back. We were not allowed to give ourselves any rest in the transitions from the push ups and the bike. The last 15 minutes or so were used to strengthen the core, so we did a few exercises for that. Our instructor was fun, which added a good bit for me. I like to have someone encouraging me when I'm giving it all I've got and just want to give up. All in all, it was an insane work out. One that I will be doing again. I feel like I can do anything now!
