New Year, New Color!

I changed the layout of the blog, for those of you that are actually still reading.  I thought I should try something new.  & speaking of new.....how about signing up for a 1/2 marathon.  That's really new!  Considering I used to hate running.  Not that I like it now, I see it as a means to an end at this point.

The hardest part to working towards this 70.3 is keeping motivated.  It's not enough just to go to the gym & try to run 4-5 miles every night, it gets really boring.  Last night in spin class I was actually thinking, what am I going to do tomorrow for a workout?  Who am I?  The old Jenn would have been thinking about anything else besides working out.

& here's a funny story for those of you that are still reading.  I have been a member at my gym 14 years, yeah crazy.  In those years I have seen tons of funny things happen there, but I think one of the funniest experiences happens in spin class, where it's dark & you're in there with 30 other people riding bikes to nowhere.  Some people come in regular workout wear, some people don the bike shorts & then there are other, nameless people that come in full biking regalia.  Hey, whatever floats your boat, what do I care what the guy next to me wears?  Well, there is one person who sits up front in full gear spinning away.  He must be a serious bike person because he's always talking about how he rides outside & winter stinks, but I digress...........about 40 minutes into the ride he starts grunting during the tough "hills".  & by grunting, I mean kinda like what you'd hear coming from a guy's dorm room on a Saturday night at 3 am.  Seriously, it's like he's having sex with his bike.  It's just too funny & so loud, I just don't know how the whole class isn't falling off their bikes laughing.  I myself have to cover my face with my towel & pretend I'm wiping sweat off my face because it is just that funny.

Yes, I know it's not nice to tell tales out of school, but who says I'm nice????  :)
