Tri Stories: Brick….the other way…
 |
| Almost Love.....Strong LIKE! |
After my flawless run yesterday I decided to do it again today. Due to the closure of the pool, I needed to change up my training today……I also needed to be home by noon so I did a backward brick…. I sat for meditation before heading out to the gym, followed by a few sun salutations, not much of a personal practice today just the sun salutations…….I awoke to bright sunshine that quickly disappeared, only to be replaced by rain. I really can’t complain about the rain today, as the temps were warm in the 60’s leaving me with the real feeling of spring, as the sun kept forcing it’s way back, front and center shining bright!! Now this is weather I love, a sweet breeze, battle of rain showers and burst of sun all wrapped up in warm temps…..makes for lovely walking weather and wash & go hair weather!!

| Yea, sweatin' like that....Whew!! |
I don’t wear my running shoes in the streets (unless I’m running), so I was carrying my flip flops, running kicks and spin shoes….Lol…..It made me giggle…..dedication!! Anywho I change into my spin/running shorts and hit the treadmill, I got right into the flow of my run…….I was sweating A LOT today, not only on the treadmill but it continued pouring off me into spin class. I ran for 40 minutes at my 12:00 min/mile pace, the only distraction were my earphones, they kept slipping out of my ear today……so annoying and such a distraction, I took my earrings out and it helped a bit, but I’m going to pick up a new pair over the weekend……get something a bit more secure, funny though this never happened before…..hummm, could it be the sweat…..thinking’…..I dunno, but I’m due for a new pair anyway. I ran on the treadmill that faces the pool….Wow, kinda interesting to watch the cleaning process, the pool is draining, the hot tube is completely drained, it looked a bit….Ewwww…..I tried not to look, because I like getting in the hot tub and I don’t wanna get a visual in my head that I’m unable to shake later…..Lol…ya know!!
After my run I’m drenched, so I head off to towel down and change into my spin shoes……I thought about changing clothes, but I was going to work it out again so no point. Spin class was GREAT today!! DeWitt was teaching and came prepared to TEACH!! Yea, that’s what I’m talkin' about! There were about eight students in class today, but the difference was, he was riding with us, so the whole delivery was on point, and I could feel it in the class we all were riding with him ALL together…….I look at the spin teachers as the leader of the pack as we ride along!! I was dripping sweat the whole time a nice cleansing sweat…..Felt good!! After class I hit the steam room, showers….then I’m out!! Not much chit chatting today, I needed to keep it movin’

| WooooooTT!! YEA! |
OK, so I know I’m officially the worlds WORST test taker, yet to my own surprise I passed a test yesterday that I found EXTREMELY difficult……Ya see the thing is, I don’t study well, my attention span is to short, I’m a doer, a thinker in motion, it sounds crazy, but that’s how things work in my head…..So I did some meditation and went for what I knew……I’m thrilled I passed as it means great opportunities lie ahead!! Now today, I’m stuck on putting my latest project together, it’s my intention to get it out by tomorrow, but things are not looking so good……I’m having a BRAIN FREEZE……Ugghhhh……I gotta go for a walk, because I’ve been sitting here looking at samples, and trying to put my thoughts together……no luck……I VERY RECENTLY started painting, nothing big, just some meditative painting……..Hummm, I think I’ll paint tonight after my last class, allowing me to release all this unnecessary mind chatter, then I'll attempt to finish my project……I need a DISTRACTION from thinking about it, that’s what’s making me nuts!! I gotta JUST DO IT!! I’m such a WORK IN PROGRESS and this training is allowing me to take a good look at my strengths and weaknesses, though I’m not over the moon about my weaknesses, I know they’re necessary for GROWTH……So I embrace them , knowing I WILL over come this hurdle and get it right....well, at least what I consider to be right…….
