Sinew Sisters of Spin

Last night was Spin class with "Ginger Snap" a woman about 5'2, minus 3% body fat and sinew. She has a passion for "jumps" mostly of the one second up and down variety. Being one of the only guys in the class my anatomy does not cotton to such, shall we say, abrupt movements. After four minutes I swear my chamois was scorched from the friction!

I had done weights the night before. Silly, the first time back in over a week and I tried to increase weight. That left my legs feeling a little deprived of strength for Spin. Today I was tired -- the good kind, the one that leaves you feeling satisfied that you worked out.

Fond memories of Italy and visiting David, got this from a travel companion who accurately shows what the ideal form looks like after two years living off the Land of Opportunity:

Sunday Cometh

Today is the final day of my self imposed rest period. I took a week off the bike to help out Nifi, focus on work and rest. None of that really has happened (as I sit at work typing away). My rests period became a "Blue Period" instead. The past few days have been full of rain and clouds with a mood to match. Believe me, this is not to complain about work, I am thankful in this time of economic strife to have a great job, it has just been pressure filled lately and it will continue. So onward I go.

A quick congratulations to the nation of China for their spectacular Olympic Opening Ceremony. In a word "Wow!" Amazing that it was all so precise and human powered. The underlying message: Don't f**k with us. Message received.
