I found out last week that a friend on my Sunday flag football team goes to my gym!  This wouldn’t be a surprise if I was a member of a big gym, but I work out at a very small boutique one in downtown Palo Alto.  We apparently work out on different days… anyway, he told me he takes spinning classes at the gym and lifts afterwards.  This friend, being very fit/athletic/fast, must know what he’s doing right?  So I decided I TOO will take spinning classes, and work out afterwards.

First of all, I realized my legs are rather short.  I had to lower the seat way~~~~ down for my legs to fit.  Second, spinning is no joke.  I was tired after the first 5 minutes, and thought I was going to die after 30.  I still cannot believe I made the whole hour (although I must admit, I was NOT pedaling as fast as everybody else).  Afterwards, I literally could not feel my legs.  Post spinning work out… did not happen.  Frankly, I’m glad I was able to drive home alive.  In conclusion, I shall go again next week.

I then came home and made dinner!  Theme of the night? Daikon cress!

도토리묵 aka acorn cake.  I did not make the cake… in fact, I did not make the sauce either- I added the daikon though…

BBQ eel don, w/ seaweed, scallions and of course, daikon!

Only dish I made from scratch!  Bean sprout soup (콩나물국 ) with scallions and daikon.  It was yummy.
