Gym is Open (Wacky Wednesday 4/23)

Lucky you!  My rec center has no windows that face out from the cardio room.  When I go to Ballys, the windows are always facing the street or the parking lot, nothing scenic at all!  I hope you have better luck with your upper arm fat than I have -- my upper arms have definition and about a yard of hanging skin!  How's that for going both ways?

I had my spinning class - this was my first hardcore workout since my race and it felt really good to pu**** My muscles are finally starting to recover and feel at a better strength. Did you go outside or stay in the gym? It was so pretty out, no wind and clear skies. A great Colorado day!!

I've watched those spinning classes.  I'm pretty sure I would injure a major organ doing that.  I'm glad you had fun!  I went outside, it was glorious and HOT, and the clouds moved in over the zoo around 3, so I left.  I'm glad I spent it outside, I understand the next few days might be cooler and a bit iffy.

It was such a beautiful day that I couldn't bear the thought of spending it indoors, so I forked over $11 and spent most of the day at the Denver Zoo.  This is only my second time at the zoo, the first time I went I was still in a wheelchair.  I enjoyed walking around the grounds, there is enough variety in the terrain that I felt like I had a decent workout, and I got to use my nifty new walking stick. I'm on a preventive Keflex regimen (keeps the cellulitis from returning) and thus need to be vigilant about using sunscreen when I'm outdoors.  I use a 70 SPF (made for vampires) and it works quite well -- except for the one part of my neck I missed with the sunscreen.  I'm not tanned at all, but I have one patch on my neck that is Hawaiian Punch red with sunburn!    Next time, I'd better look in the mirror when applying sunscreen.  I walked 8500 steps at the zoo and expended 378 calories (according to my accurate pedometer).
