So last week things around these parts were a bit of doom and gloomy courtesy of my torn meniscus. My knee was miserable in spin class and hurt off and on the rest of the week.

But last night, I noticed that my range of motion without pain or discomfort had improved a little bit, and by this morning I could bend my knee all the way with no real pain.

So I decided to give spin class a try tonight and see what happened.



Verdict: Mostly good things. Minimal to nonexistent pain or discomfort throughout the class.

Also, the class was amazing. It was 100% Halloween themed. Our instructor came in sort of in costume and played all sorts of Halloween-y/monster-themed music.

Think: Thriller, the Ghosterbusters theme song, Phantom of the Opera, etc.

Tonight's instructor is definitely vying for a spot on the top of my favorite spin instructors list. I loved her two weeks ago when I took her class too. She's upbeat and fun and always has an awesome music selection.

I might be making her class a regular on my schedule.

Other highlights of the day: I voted today because Maryland has early voting and it's the best thing ever. Who wants to wait in long lines on actual election day. Not this girl.
