Today I took my first ever spinning class, at YAS - Yoga and Spinning, which is right on Abbot Kinney, just walking distance away from where I live. It was challenging and I sure did sweat a lot. But, I haven't been good about packing up my bike and riding in Griffith Park, so spinning was just what I needed. Especially with a triathlon coming up. I'm thinking of investing in more classes...we'll see. I've been taking private swimming lessons (working on technique), and my usual pilates semi-privates, and these things add up -- moreso when you're income-challenged like I am at the moment.
Two nights ago, I went out to the Barnes and Noble at the Grove for Victoria Rowell's book signing. The book is titled "The Women Who Raised Me," and so far it's a great read. Anyway, back to the reading....packed house! And VR's friends -- Kimberly Elise, Debbie Morgan, Kasi Lemmons, the ex-Mrs. Babyface and Shaun Robinson of Access Hollywood -- just to name a few, came out in full force to support. And, as you can imagine, they all looked mahvelous!
