Well this week I made a solid effort to fill my 20 extra hours of free time. Just crossing things off my "To Do" List. Or at least starting them. I managed to make it to yoga three times this week. (And lets face 7pm is a terrible time to convince yourself that yo want to be in the gym). And I tried a spin class, which was 60 minutes of heart-pumping, sweat-dripping, wish-I'd-thought-to-bring-a-water-bottle exercise experience! I only went to that class once this week, because I'm supposed to be tapering off my exercise routine in preparation for Sunday's Marathon. Yep...2 days away. After this weekend I want to try to go to spin class more often. What a fantastic workout! I also started reading "Slow Fat Triathlete" which is hilarious, yet filled with some sound practical advise. Then I made an appointment at a local bike shop to get my bike tuned up.
And I went on a date. Two actually. With the same fella. Lets call him "Mr. S." Met online. Super nerdy. Like extra super nerdy. We met for a beer and talked about books and video games. It was only somewhat awkward. Which I like to think isn't only because I'm awkward, but because the whole concept of meeting strangers that you've read an online profile of, and then having a meeting in which you size up and judge the other person is an awkward experience by itself. That was Monday. Then Wednesday we met for mochas at the Buzz cafe and that was much less awkward.
I also found out that Metro State College of Denver offers American Sign Language classes, and I'm working on enrolling so I can take that in the fall.
My new favorite Iphone app is "Fitocracy" in which you log all the physical activity you do in a day (and you can count things like "walking up stairs" as exercise) and then at the end of the day it gives you "experience points" as if you were an RPG character in a video game, and then you gain levels. I'm currently at level 7!
Next up: Marathoning!!!
