Day Three

Day Three

At 05:45 sharp, the man is always so prompt, Tanner phoned me for my wake up call (Thank you Tanner, you rock.) I managed to get my sleepy butt out of my bed. Looking in the mirror I pondered the challenge ahead if me. Get dressed, make a shake (without berries because I was a dork and forgot to pick some up, yuck), then find my way to a strange pool and facility half way across the city (the only one with everything I need that opens early enough on weekends.) Then a wonderful and fantabulouse idea crossed my mind. Go back to bed and go into MacEwan at noon when the pool opens. Brilliant! So that is what I did.

I even had time to make a real breakfast, a omelet scramble with lots of veggies for me and a scrambled egg for my housemate’s Dog. (Patrick if you are reading this I apologize for feeding Violet people food.)

Dressed in my spiffy new gym shorts and only slightly hideous running shoes I set off for the gym. I was determined to get a good and accurate time on the bike today. I failed at this. But wait, it was for a good reason. I was about 17minutes into my work out when the spin class instructor came around to ask people if they where interested in participating. I thought “Spin class? What I great idea.” Then promptly hoped off the bike I was on and set over to the special spin class bikes. Now I thought regular bike seat where uncomfortable, the fancy spin class bikes are horribly uncomfortable. But I pushed through. It was a good time. The young lady running the class was very good about teaching me the terminology, proper positioning and such. She also put us through a torture session of abs afterwards. It hurt but I might implement some of the things she showed us at home when I do abs. I will defiantly go back for more spin class torture. They have a class three days a week at 6:30. I could swim for 20minutes then get out in time for spin class.

The swim was great but my time could be better, 00:15:45. I need a stop watch or a water proof digital watch to time myself with to get more accurate times. I should also find out if I have to swim the whole thing freestyle or if I can do breaststroke too.

I took a break from running today. I’ll do a 5k loop on the treadmill Monday. My knee needs break. It is being a snively-pants.

It is my friend Megan’s birthday today and I am going out to Kurt and Lesley’s tomorrow. I’m a bit nervous about that. I don’t want to ruin all my hard work with beer. Also I need to be in the water, not just arriving at the campus, at 06:00 sharp on Monday. Training for the Lifestyle and Peer Support position starts early Monday morning. I will need my workout done before then.

Kevin is lending me his bike to use. I hope it is up to par. We are sending to a shop on Monday to get it fixed up. I should maybe call the coordinator of the race to ask some questions.

I am taking tomorrow off. I will likely still sign on to write something. Probably confessing that I caved and had a pint.
