Spinning

I'm not on track to finish my goal for this week. Work and life have been busy, and for just one week, I'm letting that take precedence. Although I was still exhausted and sore from weights on Monday, I managed to go to spinning with Michelle and Melissa. It was tiring but felt good.

Bloody spinning

No, I'm not cursing spinning. I managed to slice my finger open in the locker room. I'm not sure how it happened, I just looked down to find my hand covered in blood. It wouldn't clot, and I ended up with blood absolutely everywhere (bike, towels, locker, floor...ew).

Other than that, spinning was uneventful. Michelle and I headed over after work. It was a short class (~50 minutes) so we biked around 10-11 miles. The instructor was Zipi, who also teaches Pilates. She ended with quite a bit of stretching, which was wonderful because my muscles are still tight from skiing and then running.

This week has been emotionally and physically exhausting, so I'm taking it easy this evening and curling up with Brian Boyle's Iron Heart, recommended here. I love reading biographies and autobiographies, and this will be the first one I read in the fitness genre.
