DISQUS

Randy, Randy, Randy ... sigh. I love you and I'm so glad you're sticking with it. But the Dead or Alive song is actually "You spin me RIGHT 'round, baby ..." British, y'know?

You should talk to some people who used to be in my Spin class. Sounds like you have it kind of easy to me. :)

Thanks for the correction Karla. A part of me is enjoying that I had that wrong for over 20 years.

:-p

And, it wasn't easy you meany :). You scare me a little with that "sounds easy" business.

lol.. I remember my first spin class, I thought it was going to be a piece of cake because I'm use to running but Oh my goodness was I so wrong. About 15 minutes into the class, I was sucking wind and wondering why on earth I picked the bike on the front row. Glad to hear you made it through the class. My advice is Not to pick any bike on the front row.

Good luck with your next class. :tawanda:

LOL!! I love your fantasy version, Randy. That's my fantasy of the perfect spin class. :-)

Spin is the hardest endurance training exercise that I've ever done. I run up to 8 mph during my sprint interval training on the treadmill 3 days per week. So before I took my first spin class, I thought I was an unstoppable force of nature. Not so much. I only made it through 25 minutes of my first spin class and had to lie on one of the benches in the ladies' locker room for about 20 minutes afterward. Quite embarrassing. You impress me, once again.

@Amy I know. I picked the back row this time with that in mind. Thanks for the well wishes. What is "tawanda?"

@Tami ::: laugh ::: glad you like the fiction version ... if only it were like that right? One friend asked me how it went and I said,"it's like riding to hell on a stationary bike." I was so glad they laughed.

@Brenna nothing sneaks past you ;)

I've never heard of spinning classes. What is a spinning class?

It's 45 minutes to an hour long of torture on a stationary bike. They call it spinning because that is what your legs do for the hour.

tawanda is the saying that Kathy Bates used in Fried green tomatoes. It was her saying for pressing through with power even though she was not as young as she use to be. I love it when she slams into the car at the grocery store and said "I'm older and I have more insurance", if you haven't seen this movie it's a great one to add to any collection.

Randy · 1 year ago

I thought it sounded familiar. That was a great movie. I don't think I own it though. I own a bunch of movies.

so tawanda!
