Tri Stories: SHORT and SWEET!

Tri Stories: SHORT and SWEET!




It’s snowing in Chi-city today, sure makes me appreciate the sun over the weekend……..I have a home practice this morning before heading out to my spin class. I move through sun salutations followed by asana sequence to complement my upcoming bike ride….Down dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana), Foul limb Staff (Dandasana) & (Chaturanga dandasana) Head of Knee(Janu Sirasana), forward fold (Uttanasana), Up dog (Urdva Mukha Svanasana), split (Hanumanasana), shoulder stand (Sarvangasana) into final resting (Savasana)……..Nice practice…….I was feeling great and ready to tackle the snow, wind and ice!!

 I arrive a the gym with just enough time to change into my spin gear…….This was a nice sized class, a couple of new faces, but for the most part all regulars. DeWitt was teaching to day and dude was on FIYAAAA!! The energy in the class was right with him, we started off running and never looked back! Oh, yeah….BRING IT! There is nothing like a good high energy, high strength, high endurance spin class……and this was a prime example of a SWEET class……halfway in I had a puddle of sweat beneath me….melikes!! …There were no mic problems today and DeWitt was TEACHING! Jumps, sprints and a serious seated climb into a intense standing climb…..it‘s the direction, the scene and push given by a teacher that makes a class want more and go deeper with awarness…..today that was this class!…I never huff and puff with spinning I breathe, and it feels so good to feel my heart working and my breathing is paced not forced or gasping…..make me feel healthy! Like I could peddle for day’s…….actually, I could……I love outdoor bike riding indoor bike riding, I just love bike riding PERIOD!

After class we are all WIPED OUT!! As crazy as it sounds, it’s a AWESOME wipe out, the kind that has you looking forward to the next time! It was my intention to sneak in a steam bath before heading out, but I got to talking and before I knew it I had 15 minutes to make it to my meeting……No steam bath today…..Instead I had a BEAUTIFUL personal practice at home followed by a FABulous spin class!!





SHORT & SWEET…….melikes!



Peace & Love Y'all

Peace,
