Took a little and much needed break this weekend :)  Back on track.  Rested and ready to go!   Spun 20 miles this morning then ran 2 on the treadmill.  Running is so much easier after spinning and I'm not sure why.  Could it be because I'm warmed up or is it because the effort is not as tough as spinning?

Tear Ree - don't you count your cross training miles, an hour spin at a 20 mph effort is workth 5 cross training miles. Good getting back at it.

My guess is that your legs are so happy they aren't spinning that they'll run for hours on sheer happiness.

Brent - I mentally count spinning as cross training just don't post the miles.

QP - I think you are right. My legs do love it when spinning class is over :)
