More Indoor Training

Another snowy weekend in Colorado, which means another weekend indoor bound for training. Yesterday’s run was at the Y on the treadmill. I thought by watching TV on the handy little TV attached to the treadmill I could pass the time quickly, but the insanity of TV frustrated me so badly, I switched to music after 10 minutes. We don’t have TV at home, so we never watch it. When presented with a TV watching opportunity, I get my hopes up that I’ll be entertained by tuning in only to be disappointed every time I turn a TV on. I must have clicked through 40 channels only to find 80% of them trying to entice me to buy some product or another. The benefits of music while training get me energized and I get through my 90 minutes of running followed by some yoga. There is nothing like yoga to finish a workout!

Today’s training was another spin workout. Netflix delivery on Friday brought us Stomp the Yard, which was great to spin to. I was stomping on my bike until a loud “pop” sent me off my bike saddle with a scream. I was working so hard my back tire exploded. Perhaps I should have changed the tire when I noticed the bubble in the tire when I started my ride? I hate changing tires, and Steve was working so I opted to ignore it and take the chance. I won’t tell Steve I knew there was a bubble though. “I don’t know what happened! I was just riding along and it popped. Can you PLEASE change it for me? “
