this about sums it up...
a convo with bold, after thursday night spin...
a.maria: i changed my mind.
lvglrg: on what?
a.maria: i hate spin.
a.maria: more than run.
lvglrg: WHAT?
lvglrg: what happened
a.maria: i think my legs are going to fall off.
a.maria: my car got hit in the parking lot 3 weeks ago. so i couldn't go to spin. then i was out of town. then last week my car was in the shop... so i haven't been for 3 weeks.
a.maria: i went back today.
a.maria: i almost died.
lvglrg: well, there's a message in there for you
...low grumble.....
a.maria: shut up. i hate you.
lvglrg: hehe
hmpf.
if i had any energy what-so-ever, i'd find the inventor of the bike
... and punch him in his no-no parts.

Oh god, I always get a smackdown from my bike when for some reason I had to skip a week or two. How come when I take a week or two off from running I feel like I have more energy, but with the bike it is just pain and suffering?

I tried spin one week when I was back in Virginia. After the first day, I thought I was going to jam a rusty nail in my eye in order to divert the pain from my legs and taint. After the second day that week I vowed never again. Maybe the worst thing was the old lady next to me spinning away while I lumbered with no resistance dialed in. Stupid bike!

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
But count your blessings - at least no one was spinning and knitting like they were at RxIronman's spin class.

You make me laugh! I will be coming to you in the near future asking for tips on bikes...since you have one. I need to purchase one and have no clue!

If you keep spinning, it'll get easier.
Ha!
Not really. But that's what I keep telling myself!

Bold always tells it like it is.

no need to thank me, i'm here to help!

I bet Mr. Bike Inventor's no-no parts are already pretty numb. I've been off the bike for a week now and you're scaring me. Do they have just a swim and run duathon? Or maybe I'll just watch the Ironman on tv.
Thanks for the post. You crack me up - and I bet you rocked that bike six ways to Sunday.

Hang in there! Your legs will be fine.

No-no parts? Hi-LAR-ious!

When you find him, punch him once for me too. The bike and I have yet to become friends, and I don't see it happening any time soon!

Be careful, Bold. The Frenchy Frenchman who invented the bike is dead, and A.J. migh just take it out on you and your No No Parts. Hell hath no fury . . .

Too funny, especially the "no-no parts". By the way, thanks again for linking your blog to our Blog Database.

Spinning sucks. Go run and swim instead.
I think KU is going to be a #1 seed. That should bring you some joy while you do silly spin classes.

Well...I do nothing but sit on my couch and go to the gym once a week, so you can punch me in my no-no parts too...but seriously that post made me laugh because a) it was Bold and b) you said no-no parts when you were tired.
I miss having you here!
