Ghetto spinning

Yesterday I started a new job in Lemon Grove. I decided to check out the 24 Hour Fitness in the area b/c I assumed I will be going there frequently after work. Conveniently there was a spinning class that started at 5:30 last night. As I entered the gym the first thing I noticed was that the demographic was a little different. No problem I am thinking...it might be nice to have a little variety from the La Jolla 24 Hour Fitness crowd that I am used to. I go get my spinning bike set up and wait for the class to start.

Three songs in the instructor tells us that we are going to "break it down" and have a "slow dance" with the bike. The next thing I know I am spinning to Mary J. Blige or R. Kelley and "breaking it down" on the bike. Now this is not what I am used to when I go to an average spinning class. I am usually accosted with some techno songs during a spinning class (which is fine) but not Def Jam's greatest hits. The rest of the class was a mixture of "Whoomp! there it is" and whatever Christina Aguilera song is popular at the moment. It definitely made for a little variety in my spinning class.

I tried to wake up early this morning and run but fell asleep after my alarm went off. Hopefully I will have time to fit in three or four miles after work...
