Sorry for the lapse in posting. I’ve been to the Y numerous times over the last week. At least 3 swims, a cycle, 1 session on the rowing machine, and 4-5 rounds on the elliptical. I’m actually liking the elliptical, gets the heart pumping and is quite a bit more comfortable than the unwieldy seat on the stationary bikes in the cardio room.
But I’ve come to the realization that working out in the Y is pretty blah. It is working out. It is not the adventure that running and biking are. There are no new trails or routes to take, no chance of finding a new street or cool new part of the town. There is a tv, or magazine, or the same 4 walls.
It really hits me, especially this time of year. I’m quite sad that I’ve yet to run in the warm southern breeze of spring. I haven’t gotten to smell the blooming pear trees and other flowers floating through the air. I have only kept track of the speedy buds of new growth on the trees and lawns from the safety and security of my car on the way to and from work. It really kind of stinks.
I need to remedy this by getting the road bike out this weekend and maybe taking a boat to the lake tomorrow evening or this weekend. Soak up some sun, get a breath of fresh air, enjoy nature and all its glory.
Oh, still haven’t made it to a spin class. The one morning the kiddos woke up early enough for me to get to a class was this Wednesday, and of course no spin class Wed. morning.
