It's tough to work in training around the holidays; I was squeezing in exercise in the wee early hours of the morning and pretty late at night -- too bad that's when it was coldest because we've had some really nice sunshine lately.  I'm starting to get better at regulating my temperature so that I don't sweat too much (and saturate my base layer, for example) -- wet base layers can be a recipe for hypothermia in a long and cold race.
 
I gave the Gold's Gym spinning classes a try this week and I generally liked them for a good and intense cardio workout.  Lots and lots of sweat, even though the air conditioning is pumping in the spinning room.  Those little towels they give you at the gym are like wash clothes by the end of the spin session . . .

Maybe I'll think to weigh myself before I go to the next Spin class . . . just out of academic curiousity. In ultra running events (and some other sorts of races) they weigh the racers every so often and will prevent a racer from continuing if they've lost too much body weight; safety first, I presume.

To REALLY get serious about logging my workouts I'd have to note heart rate stats and more details that I don't really feel like cataloging.
