Pfffttt...

This morning was my third Spinning class of my teaching career. Last night I spent quite a bit of time planning my playlist (Grammy inspired, naturally, since the Grammy's were on) and coordinating it with the workout. I charged my iPod, packed my bag and was all set for class at 5:30am.

The class was completely full, we were through the warm up about a song and a half into the playlist when my iPod just stopped working. Not a sound except the awful clunking noise the stereo was making while I was fussing with it trying to get it to work. I ran to my car and grabbed my iPhone which had about 20 songs loaded on it nearly 2 years ago... (I didn't buy the high gig iPhone, so I haven't put my music on it because, ahem, I have an iPod) So the music totally sucked. It didn't really go with the workout I had planned, it was dated and I felt anxious about it. I moved on the very best I could, vowed not to let the music issues affect me and gave the class a tough work out.

I wonder if anyone will come back?

Oh, and I am going to have to buy a new iPod. I know mine is about 7 years old and I am overdue for an upgrade... I will have to teach 2.5 months of classes to pay off the iPod I need to teach the classes. The upside -I will have great music for all the running I need to be doing this year.
