On the road again!

So it's been too long since my last post and I apologize for not communicating sooner. Last week was super busy at the Inn, therefore not allowing me to get out for extended periods and ride. However,I did take my first Spin Class at St. D's Health Club on Monday. It was an intense 45 minute routine that was in some ways tougher than a 40 mile ride on the road. Although you are setting your own pace, the instructor somewhat guilts you into keeping up with everyone else, and you end up pushing a lot harder than you would if you were alone. At least that's how my body felt after the workout. Friday I left for Chicago for a conference for URJ (Union of Reformed Judaism). I was able to get two workouts in at the gym both averaging 20 miles on the bike. It's now Monday evening and I'm in Baltimore. I'm attending the Mid Atlantic Conference of Innkeepers and a PAII Inn-keeping Foundation Board Meeting. This is really playing havoc on my cycling regimen, but I'll just have to work much harder when I return to Jackson on Thursday. Plan to hit the gym again tomorrow morning and get a work out in on the bike. I much prefer riding outside on the road than working out in the gym, but any workout is better than no workout. More soon....I promise.
