Every Wednesday…

…is usually a spinning day. I love the 12:15 pm class at my Goodlife gym. Of course, they use the LesMills group classes, and the spin class, called RPM, is my favorite. I’m usually not working on Wednesday so I try to go every week. Here is a bit more information about the class.

Usually, one class lasts about 45 minutes but last Saturday, I did a 3 hour class. It was more like a spin-athon since we were raising money for the Heart and Stroke foundation. I think the gym location I go to raised about 2000$.

Before the class today, I was able to run 3 miles on the treadmill. Well not exactly run. Since I’m still new to running, I decided to take things slow and start of with walking/running intervals. Today I was able to run 1 minute, then walk 1 minute. The 3 miles took me 41 minutes all together. Not great but a good beginning.

This was followed by a spin class, which I always enjoy.

Slowly climbing to a full 5k run will be tough but I think I’ll be able to get to it eventually. I have a few races planned for 2012, but nothing crazy. And nothing before May.

Wish me luck!
