TE December Indoor Cycling Challenge

Ugh hit a snag! I was doing well and then both kids got walking pneumonia so haven't done anything since Monday!

Oh, it's okay. You have an excuse. I don't really have one, and I haven't done anything since Monday either. I got half an hour in today, despite my intention to get up early.
My side is still bugging me, so I haven't been able to do intervals or anything other than low-resistance. Any day now, muscle...

I've finally found something that will hold my attention--documentaries!

I was just curious, we had a new woman in spinning class last night who did very well, especially for someone who said she had never been in spinning class before. I thought it might be you

You know, I did two hours while watching Hellboy, a fast pased action flick and it wasn't even close to as good as the POV footage used in the Sufferfest videos. I guess it really makes me feel like I am going somewhere. I even lean into the curves a little bit with my body (or so my partner tells me lol!).

I should try documentaries, though. Variety will be critical!

It works because I'm a nerd. It doesn't take much to get me to watch a documentary (that isn't on the History Channel).

I will warn you, however, that watching one about the 1918 flu pandemic is not a good idea. It is especially not a good idea when this one contains an interview with someone who lost both parents and her brother within 3 days.

Owlie: Where did you watch the documentary about the 1918 pandemic? I'd find that interesting, most likely not for the trainer. I read the book by Gina Kolata and it was super interesting. And I enjoy documentaries, too.

It's so funny - I would never choose to watch a documentary but if i happen to stumble upon them. I'm completely hooked. They really do hold my interest more than a regular sitcom/news program.
Kids are on the mend so will try to get back on track tomorrow.

It's the PBS Secrets of the Dead one. I think there was another one from PBS as well (American Experience, maybe).

I tried an Eddie Izzard show today. It didn't work. Well, it might have worked better if I'd eaten ahead of time. I have an obnoxious tendency to not eat properly before trainer workouts (because--hey!--if I need to, I can collapse on the floor), and work a bit harder (because I can collapse on the floor).

Ha! See my post in #108, also about collapsing in the comfort of my floor.

I did 2 hours outside today in 37 degrees with a sore throat. I've decided that I'll stick to indoor riding until I get a home with a sauna
