it's really nice out; should i blow off spin class and go running, or do the spin class?
will be riding tomorrow, so that's not an option.

I would run outside. I am going to hit tennis balls if the courts are dry.
OUT > in
Outside...unless the spin class is full of eye candy that you wouldn't otherwise see while running outside.
id sit on my ass and flip threw the tv channels instead of running, and geese spin class are you kidding me way to boring.
i say ride two days in a row that just a win win situation.

Being outside is always better than being inside. Run on the trail if possible.
actually, that's a good point. there's a trail not too far from work, so i can run straight to it.jacksonpt said:werd!

the eye candy was pretty solid in the winter months, but it's been patchy at best for the last month or two.
I voted spin class.
While I agree that outside is better than inside, I hate running so I could not in good conscience vote for it.

neither.
DRINK.
DRINK.
did that all weekend.
Running would get my vote.
Me- I'll be playing hockey tonight.

I always go outside when given the choice. Stuffy air, or fresh air? No brainer/
well Tuesday isn't a very good reason to stop.....narlus said:
I concur...DRB said:
However, if you are too wimpy to keep drinking, I vote spin class.
Because if your spin classes are anything like spin class around here, the scenery is definately worth the time when you can't hit the dirt.

Had that been a poll option, it would have gotten my vote.DRB said:

Nice Jackson. That will get you a one month birthday pardon.
Sit in front of the computer and create polls - screw exercising.
In what way is this a logical argument?narlus said:
Running is teh suck. Spin class, drinking, or both. Hell, drink enough and running might even be fun... for a little bit.
in terms of time consumption.sam_little said:

it's all about time management.dfinn said:
i can do a 50 minute spin class (it's at work, so there's zero time involved getting there), or run (either from work, or home; again, zero time involved in starting said activity). plus, if i run it's usually a lot less than i'd ride for. tomorrow's ride (not including driving to/from the trailhead) will probably be close to two hours.
make sense now?
but anyway, i ended up killing more time than i'd planned on...i decided to drive home and run there, since i wouldn't be driving all sweaty, but got stuck in some traffic, and it took about 15 minutes longer than normal (~60% longer). then, i decided to run for a lot longer than normal (almost 70 minutes).
so that's that.
Get married & have kids, then it will ALL make sense.dfinn said:

i'd get a lot more from a 45 min run than a 45 min bike ride.
Maybe with a road bike, but not MTB'n. It takes a lot of extra time to load up get to the trail unload get ready, ride, load back up and get home. Trust me it's not as easy as you think. I thought things would be different too before kids.dfinn said:
Boy was I ever wrong.
Try getting a ride in when your kid hates bikes and your wife has a back injury that prevents her from trail riding.Brian HCM#1 said:
Sigh.
I took up running to get in the cardio workout that I can't easily attain during the week. It's helping.
I live 1 block away from my kids school, the track is open in the evening.
I say have spin class outside.
