#runwiththewolves

Been taking a lot of blips of my bike recently so wanted to capture an image of my Saturday morning run with 'The Pack'. It is quite hard to take a picture when you are running, this is the only one that was in focus. So here is my awesomeasaurus amiga about to takle the last hill and indeed last mile of the day.

Went out for a few jars last night with some of the people who attend the same gym as me and participate in group exercise classes. Was a great wee night and I enjoyed getting to know some of the people outwith the time contrained environment of the leisure centre. I am always fascinated by other people's journeys and how they got to be where they are. Everybody has a story and although we are all on different trajectories and at different stages, the important thing is that we walk together!

As you are probably aware, I absolutely love my RPM class. For me it is not even an exercise class but something spiritual. When I am riding out with the group and each pedal stroke is in time with the pulsating music and my resistance is just right, it's as if I float out of my body and transcend the physical plain into another place, where I am at one with my soul. I am not aware of anybody round about me or the room in which I am riding, all I hear is the music and the instructors telling us where we should be. It generally happens at track 3 which is a mountain track, by the end of this track I am usually in this special place and I stay there until the end. I know the cool down track is meant to bring your body back to nomality but it also a bridge for me which brings me back to reality, back to the here and now. A friend has recently started RPM and I think that last night it touched her in this way, glad I'm not the only crazy dippy but zippy hippy out there :)
