I've got one more trip scheduled this month. After I am back from that, I am signing up at the local YMCA. Here are some of the classes that I am going to be taking:

designed to deliver results with an emphasis on alignment principles and breathing techniques to strengthen the mid-section effectively, without strain.


Group ride: Pedal in groups, roll over hills, chase the pack, climb mountains and spin your way to burning calories and strengthening your lower body. This 60 minute cycling program is geared for anyone that can ride a bike. Motivating music, awesome instructors and an inspiring group environment lets you Ride On!

I have been asked "Why on earth are you signing up to the 'Y'? You already have a home gym and a fitness centre in your apartment building"........

The simple answer is that I need some structure and motivation right now. Going to classes will help me build a terrific base.... a base that will help me when I am able to run again. All I have to now is nail down a schedule that fits into my life.

Gotta plan.
