Pity party of one still made it to Ride the Zone
In the hierarchy of my female friendships, Sass is my mistress but we both have pre-existing long-term relationships with our "wives." Went for a fun, gosspy lunch with my wife yesterday, only she breaks the news that she and her husband are moving back to San Francisco, and this time they are definitely not returning to New York. Heartbreak. After Yoga Vida class, go for dinner with two friends. They tell me they're moving to Indiana. I drink too much wine and stay up too late (but when have I ever drunk just enough wine and come home early when I hang out with them?). Reserve Ride the Zone bike at 1:30 am. Inappropriately update every social network status I have. In bed, throw a pity party of one. Sleep four terrible and tipsy hours. Wake up an hour and fifteen minutes before my alarm goes off. Hate life, hate life, hate life. Resolve to still go to Ride the Zone class because sometimes Kaitlyn has too much wine and she still makes it to RTZ to "honor her commitment to herself." Decide Grown-Ass Women go to the Church of Marion and pray she'll save them from themselves.
On the subway, curl myself around my cup of coffee. Sass also hates life today. During class, feel like I'm sleep pedaling through the ride. I only get out of the saddle twice. Notice I have forearm sweat, but am pretty sure it's just sweat that dripped down from the crook of my elbow. During the cooldown, Marion suddenly switches the music to Backstreet Boys. I yell, "Yay! Let's ride to Spain!" Everything is better for a second. Afterwards, Sass and I high-five because at least we made it and we never stopped pedaling.
I swear this morning my fitness schedule was the only thing keeping me from a full-out meltdown.

@sandyliz- yes that makes me feel better thank you.
@msh- OMG seriously. SERIOUSLY. Do it. It made me feel at least marginally less crazy. Not the exercise. The schedule lol.

I was so happy you could finally clip your feet into those peddles. I was getting real worried that you'd fall out of them. I'm so impressed that you woke me this morning before my alarm clock. We were a disaster, but at least we were a team disaster. Co dependent Cranky pants. No matter how lame dot com I was today, I'm really thankful that you got me up and moving. I had three cups of coffee and never napped...and I actually kind got stuff done, now that I think of it.
