Another 60 minute spin class this am at the Y...I'm in the class that rushes off to work early so you can guess the demographic that the 'music' is aimed at...

With all apologies to Yvonne Elliman, I DON'T love the night life...and I DON'T want to boogie!

I'm thinking about taking the Y fitness leadership course just so I can program my own class, actually aimed at riders who want to improve their pure cycling power output...rather than a glorified version of the '20 minute workout' , remember that one?

Of course, I would feature such disco favourites as "Anger" by Skinny Puppy, "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails, and perhaps some cuts from the movie "Hackers."

I can't believe I'm actually getting requests to keep this blog up to date! Well, here goes. I've been doing my general fitness training now for a bit over a week, and I'm amazed at the feedback I've been getting...not only from my own body but from other people who see me periodically...pretty much all positive...so will keep it going...

I have a few people I know who are in the same boat as me re: returning to the sport after a long hiatus and they have been coming along nicely also. I still would like to get in a short triathlon this summer before getting serious about XC-skiing this fall. I hope to co-ordinate the 'race' with my wife and daughter in an appropriate race the same weekend.

This week I'll run 3x, get in 2 spin classes, 3 weight workouts and perhaps one short swim. I'm waiting for the local outdoor 25y pool to open before I get 'serious' about swimming.

Thanks for listening...
