Spinning therapy - I see why there's no charge

I've finished up that hectic quarter of "What? Sure I can teach that class. And that class too. Sure I can pick up another" business. So, I'm back to the gym with my JulzHOLLA! She has suggested that my work schedule really hindered her workout schedule. We do a good job of not only depending on each other to show up, but to make it a laugh-filled and fun workout.

We've signed up for a few triathlons this summer, so this week, we're doing a day of running, a day of spinning, and a day of swimming. Then do it again. Today was spinning. I'm not a huge fan of spinning. I think I might have mentioned my unabashed dislike of spinning before. But it's not warm enough to ride yet. Our spin day fell randomly on today. It's a different instructor on different days. So, we're getting started, and the instructor can tell I'm new to spinning. Because I told her. I've got to stop doing that. We're warming up, and talking and then we get in a bit of trouble for talking. Uh, okay. And then out of nowhere, the leader chick calls me out and suggests I have a slight case of a.d.d. I laugh. Hahahah. That's so funny. And she comes back with something like, "And when it gets hard you lose focus. Right?" Yes. Insulting and true. I like to distract myself and laugh with my girl yo. So shut up and spin, right? I will if you will, leader lady.

Hold on, I've got to turn off the tv and log off of Facebook real quick while I write this.

Oh wait, I need to change the laundry and load the dishwasher.

Okay, I'm back now.

I'm going to need to do Farley's eye later, and pick up the kids. Oh yeah, I'm going to need to cut this short because I need to grab some corn starch because it's apparently Dr. Suess Week at school, and they made this Ooblik stuff. The kids want to make it at the house and you need corn starch to make it so....Okay, what was I saying before?

Oh yeah, some chump - the Leader Chick in spinning today had the audacity to suggest I had A.D.D. and when challenged, I can't focus. That was during the warm up.

The phone just rang. I have a dear pal who just asked me if I was okay having another Lucy in the world. She's having a Lucy. Awww. Isn't that sweet!?

I agree that I have lack of focus when working out and really, in life. I struggle with it. No wait, I embrace it. What's wrong with throwing a distracting joke out there when the chips are down? I'm just sayin. I'm well aware of my tendencies, and it's what gets me through the workout, and through each and every day buddy. And hopefully, it's what helps my friend get through a workout too.

So, after the "do you suffer from A.D.D." gig, miss leader chick continues to address mostly me and JulzHOLLA! and the fact we're talking and we shouldn't be able to talk and go 80%. I argue, while spinning faster than her by the way, that if I go 70% and talk, then really, my cardio is at 90%. Right? This goes on a little bit. I only react with very funny jokes when she addresses us. And then she suggests that just because I can talk, doesn't mean everyone else wants to hear it. What?

I agree that there's funhaters (I mean, it's spinning for gravy's sake) in the group and they probably don't want to hear me talk. Even though I'm very very VERY funny. I concurred and shut up. But let me take this moment to say, I would have just kept the funny to just me and my girl JulzHOLLA! had she just let us be.

At the end of the class, she mentioned something about our Venus flowing back. I'm guessing she was not talking about my razor. And I'm hoping she wasn't talking about the Venus that lines up with Jupiter and Mars. But it was getting weird in there, so I wouldn't put it past that. Still, I think maybe she was referring to a vein or something and maybe she's got a nickname for it?

I'm going to wear a tshirt to the gym as soon as I can that says, "My focus is being distracted".

That's how I roll. It really is.
