Mako

30 minutes on the spin bike (almost no tension and it still felt like a huge effort). I wanted to try and stick it out for a full hour, but I'm supposed to be letting my body repair itself this week so alas I had to exercise a bit of self control. Instead I did a little strength training; bis and tris! Lighter weights and lots of reps. Was very excited to pick up my baby from the bike shop! It had me smiling all day!

My bike reminds me of a mako shark!

"The shortfin mako's speed has been recorded at 50km/h (31 mph), and there are reports that it can achieve bursts of up to 74km/h (46mph).[17] It can jump up to 9m (28ft.) in the air. Due to its speed and agility, this high-leaping fish is sought as game worldwide. This shark is highly migratory. Its exothermic constitution partly accounts for its relatively great speed."-wikipedia

I think the name is rather appropriate! =)
