    The trainer I ordered came today. I unpacked and got the bike set up and did about 10 minutes just getting adjusted and used to how it feels. Felt pretty good so I changed into my workout clothes and did 30 minutes at a fast tempo. After about 15 minutes I started to feel numbness in the posterior and girly parts. I know I hadn't been on a bike for any length of time in quite some time, so is this somewhat normal until I get my butt used to being in the saddle? I pushed though to 30 minutes and when I stepped off the bike I was pretty sore for a few minutes, but it dissipated quickly.

    Looking forward to my lesson tomorrow!!

    OK. My lovely DH got a new iTouch today with HD video video capture, so he shot this little video during tonight's "training" session.

    How kind of him, eh?
