It was Purple and Blue and Yellow and Green
I'm lazy. Very lazy. After spending a night bowling with friends and colleagues, I am too lazy to get myself off the couch. And no matter what anyone says, I can't get myself to even consider getting up. Oh, eventually I guess I shall, but for now I'm just being lazy.
I spent four days training this past week - I might make it five a tad later - and have discovered that I still like doing spinning after all these years of not attending those classes.
I used to love spinning to the point that I would rather attend spinning during my mathematics lectures at university. Which is probably why I was delighted to find that the leisure centre offers them during a time that I can attend - I don't even have to take time off work ;)
On Thursday I went for a class - it was the first time that there was an opening - and after setting up my bike, I found myself ready and just started spinning it out. The instructor arrived and a few minutes later we started the pain. Oh, literally. I somehow managed to not put the setup pin right to the back when I setup my seat position and the first moment that we had to "spin it out", I increased speed... and felt a huge amount of pain go through my right calve muscle.
It took a few more hits before I managed to grab hold of the emergency brake, and my leg felt like it was going to explode.
I looked down and didn't see anything, but I somehow realised that I was going to show off a nice blue mark the next morning.
I was right. Although, my bruise isn't just blue. It is purple, yellow, green and blue... the whole range in one.
Andy felt sympathy, but that didn't mean he didn't laugh a lot.
I guess I'll just have to remember to setup the bike properly from now on.
