First Spinning Class

This morning 5:15 was my first spinning class.  Only 10 of us, but then it was early!  It was easier than I thought, and of course I could go my own pace.  But it was good, felt alive. 

The yoga helped a lot.  Deep breath through the nose and out through the mouth.  Concentrated on the breathing, that really helped.  In yoga we are learning how to move “energy”, (which I discovered is a very nice word for “enormous amount of pain”); from the place you feel it, to either your heart or head space!  So you bundle that “energy” (pain) up, and you move it, with your breathing, to the heart or head space.  Take it up on the in breath and push it back down on the out. 

It worked, or the concentrating on getting it to work, distracted me – but I felt good.  Am ready for tomorrow, only doing 3 of these a week.  Now if I can learn to do 6 of those in a row, I’ll make it! Well to the finish line, at least! J

Thank you everyone for the support and encouragement!
