Last Spinning Class for a while
I’m not sure whether I mentioned it or not, but my spinning instructor, Tracy, is getting married this coming Saturday. The venue she rented for the occasion is giving her a hard time about holding the ceremony outdoors. (We’ve had some hellacious fires over the weekend, and the air quality is dicey.) Despite this, Tracy is adamant about holding the ceremony outdoors.
"Who," she sensibly asked, "wants to get married in a conference room?" Interesting thought when you come right down to it. She’s of the opinion that by Saturday, the fires will have been contained, and the particulate matter in the air will have either settled to earth or been blown out to sea. She has a point. It is Wednesday, October 24, as I write this, and already, the air is cleaner than its been since last Friday (before the fires began). Tracy is threatening to postpone the marriage if the manager refuses to allow the outdoor ceremony to commence as planned. (Personally, I think there’s too many moving parts to stop the wedding now, but Tracy is one stubborn lady, so who knows.)
What does this have to do with me? Not that this is about me, of course <wink, wink, nudge, nudge> but it means no spinning class until November 7th. I can’t suspend my cardio activities for that long, so my options are either to find a temporary spinning class that I can join for two weeks, or find another cardio activity that I like as much as spinning, and naturally, there isn’t one. Running hurts my knees, treadmills are boring, boxing classes hurt too much (I HATE being punched in the nose), and I can’t find anyone who still teaches Tao Bo (is that how you spell it?). <Sigh>
I guess it’s back to jumping rope.
Tracy, I wish you and your husband a long, happy and fruitful life together. Marriage is the single hardest thing two people can do together. The road of life is long and at times hard, but it’s made infinitely better with a companion by your side.
