Spinning, ponds, and adventures

I have started teaching spinning over here at the gym. I filled in one day for a guy that could not make it. Then, another instructor has a bum calf, so I got suckered into teaching four classes this week. I have not cycled for the better part of the last year. Spin is hard. We lay down some good work for an hour. I would recommend it to any cyclist or triathlete for a very good power workout. If it is hard to get on the trainer and put in some serious power, the spin class is a good place to get it. Running has been slow, but maintaining. In the past two weeks I have had two midterms, 7 quizzes, and a final. My accounting classes are edging on being overwhelming, but I have done fine with them. I am learning a lot and the accounting requirements for the CPA exam will be completed at the end of next semester.

Our basement was just textured and is now ready to paint. We bought the flooring to go in and will be finishing that over the next couple weeks. I will paint it all and then lay the flooring. It will be a nice place to hang out. I installed a pond this weekend. I will post some pics. It is complete with waterfall, and now FISH!!!! We love it! The little patches of Scottish moss will grow into a carpet of beautiful green. :) A little oasis after a long day of studying and work. I really want to try an adventure race, so I am contemplating jumping into the xstream adventure race in Vail. Hopefully I don't get long. It is a 12 hour race with Mt. biking, running, kayaking, and orienteering. I will give you an update on that soon!

Until then...
