    MP's final step is my personal favorite. Even better, think up new cuss words! People say that swearing gets you more angry but it actually makes me laugh at myself.

    Maybe there's a suggestion for Coach Troy there, for the new Spinervals he produces?

    Okay, now THIS is just SICK...

    For the last couple of weeks, I have been doing Uphill Grind followed by the Technique part of 23.0 Time Saver.

    Some of you know I am very susceptible to the "tunes going around in your head" thing, and often tunes I really don't like.

    These days, every day I hear the music to Uphill Grind in my head at some point during the day. I find myself LIKING it. It makes me want to do Uphill Grind again. Can someone please tell me where I can get help for this?

    Failing that, to the Spinervals noobs, I am just letting you know that this Uphill Grind (yes, still two gears up in the back much of the time; yes, still only standing for 15 seconds; but getting a little better at it every time) followed by Technique 23.0 is a really nice little workout. I like it a lot.

    Haven't done Uphill Grind in a while. Maybe that's my tomorrow workout....

    I really prefer U2 to the stupid disco porn Spinerval music.

    Salsa, you have now been accused of liking "stupid disco porn music".

    Maybe they figure there is some kind of Pavlovian response that raises the heart rate...
