• About Me

  • Running has brought great joy to my life. I use this blog to log my running experiences and maybe even inspire a few people to get out there and run. If a turtle like me who couldn't run for more than two minutes without feeling like I was at death's door can run, anybody can.

    Spinning Outside Without Any Seats

    When I arrived at my gym today, I saw some ladies bringing spin bikes outside and I realized  we would be spinning outdoors.  This was a first for me, but not really surprising since somebody told me they sometimes do this.  It was a very nice day out and the room we usually spin in [...]

    Spin Shoes

    Over the weekend I purchased some cycling shoes for spin class.  I put off buying them for a little while to make sure I was actually going to continue spinning, since they are not exactly cheap.  I ended up going to REI.  We have quite a few small bike shops here, but I did not [...]

    Tough Spinning

    Since today was a no running day, I  decided I would add in a spinning class to get the blood flowing in my legs and prevent them from stiffening up.  For the past two weeks the normal spin instructor has been ill, so every time I have gone there has been a sub.  Today the [...]

    Turtles can Spin?

    Went to a spin class today, first ever.  I’ve never  been on a spin bike before  and don’t do very much cycling in general, so I was a little nervous about getting through a 45 minute spin class.  I arrived at the gym  a little early, so that I could drag my bike in, get [...]
