Have You Ever Been So Excited To Exercise That You Couldn't Sleep?

I experienced such a thing last night. I was so tired and fell asleep right away. El woke up in the night and after I wrapped her back up and gave her a binky, I couldn't fall asleep again. I was disappointed that it was only 1:30 because I was so excited for the 5:45 a.m. spin class. Sad, I know.

The class was great except I forgot a towel to wipe my sweat off with and the microphone wasn't working so it was hard to hear the instructor. Other than that, I had a great workout.

Since spin this morning, I've been thinking about running. I push myself in spin but I seem to balk at pushing myself so hard when I run. Maybe I'm afraid of killing myself when I still have to get home.  This has inspired me to push myself a little harder in my runs, especially in terms of pace. Yes, I have been pushing my pace lately but I think I could do more.

I'm hoping to hit up the 4:30 yoga class tonight (before my week trial ends) if Drew gets home in a timely manner. Hopefully he will, seeing as the camera he just ordered and has been bouncing off the walls over for the past week just arrived. I think he'll try to get home as soon as possible.

Today's workout
Spin, 45:00, 17.5 miles

What is the weirdest thing you have been so excited for that you couldn't sleep?

Do other workouts inspire you to do better in your main sport?

Swim and Spin

On Friday, I swam a half mile at the gym and it was lovely! I cannot believe how much I have missed swimming in the past two years. It was nice to be in the pool. But the pool was fine, just a little murky, just because it isn't the point of the gym, but it was just fine. Having a pool at my disposal is really a selling point for me.

And then on Saturday I went to a spin class. Those are the nicest spin bikes I have ever been on. They were so quiet and smooth and had a nice display. I also have missed spin class in the last two years too. I went 22.6 miles in the hour class. Great time at spin class.

I'm planning on another swim tonight (!) and a spin class in the morning.

I'll report back when I report back.
