Turkey or Bust

Our gym has a contest going on, Turkey or Bust, in which the person who takes the most group fitness classes between November 1 and November 22 will win a free Thanksgiving dinner for four from Tony’s Market. I am interested because:

  • I like group fitness classes, as I push myself harder in a group setting (read that as ‘competitive’)
  • I like Tony’s Market
  • I like the Thanksgiving, especially if I do not have to cook

Thus, I am going for it. I have consigned myself to 22 days of physical discomfort, all to save us a few hours of cooking. The logic is far from sound, but it will keep me active.

Three days in and I am at five classes. The pace is about to slow due to a combination of work and personal obligations. In effort to stay ahead though, I am attending a spin class tomorrow that begins at 5:45, a full hour before I usually wake.

I put my odds of winning pretty low. There is someone out there who works less, is fitter, and has the wisdom to sleep instead of posting about exercise. Stay tuned though, tales of soreness are sure to follow.
