"Not that I'm not happy to see you guys tonight, but I have to question the mental state of people that choose to spend Fat Tuesday spinning rather than getting drunk." This is how my spin instructor started class tonight. It made me laugh. But then, of course, it got me thinking. What type of person does make this choice?
Tuesday nights are my favorite nights at the gym. I typically take a spin class and then a power yoga class. When I tell people this--that I take two classes back-to-back, that I actually really enjoy spending multiple hours at the gym, their reaction is usually--"You're crazy." This is the same reaction I usually get when I tell someone my race schedule. "You're crazy."
I would like to think that if I am crazy, it is the good kind of crazy. I'm motivated. I like, no LOVE working out. I get a sick rush from signing up for a race. I get an even sicker rush from crossing a finish line. I sweat my ass off. I convince other people to run with me. I make spread sheets to track my training. I take back-to-back classes at the gym. I choose to spend Fat Tuesday spinning rather than getting drunk.
I'm crazy...but the good kind of crazy. :)
