Don't get my wrong, I am enjoying the Surly Pug I bought, but a fat bike is still just not the same as my hybrid. It's like a heavy duty pickup versus a sports car. It is, however, a great workout, one mile on the Pug feels like about 3 on my Crosstrail Pro Disc.
Well, I managed to do about 3/4ths of my goal of jogging my half mile street. Would have helped if we didn't have 2-3 inches of slippery, packed snow that shifted on the asphalt with every footfall, I did better where there was a little dry pavement down the center of the street on one short stretch.
And, I discovered, the Adidas running shoes I just bought are OK on the treadmill, and even on the wooden gym floor, but kinda suck on asphalt. So, back to the drawing board on that one.
I'm pretty addicted to the gym now, though, after 3 months there. I'm really get the hang of all of the equipment, I am having the best time, the two trainers who are working with me are great, both 22 year old kids with a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of heart, although the one guy played college football and looks like he could seriously hurt me if he wanted to, 6'4" and 265 pounds, all muscle, and he pushes me really hard. And frankly, I just like hanging out with the guys talking about no shit in particular in the locker room, lounge, or restaurant. Then, there's the spa, I became friends with the massage therapist, who is in my 6 am fitness class, so that lead to ... a monthly appointment. Another little luxury. It's a great facility, everyone there is really nice, friendly, and supportive. And, well, since this is the men's forum, and hopefully I won't get alerted on for this, I've been enjoying the views, if you know what I mean. I may be middle aged, I may have some "problems", but I'm not exactly dead yet, and there are some pretty attractive ladies, albeit out of my league, over there.
