I'm sitting on the foredeck, basking in the wonderful warm, sunny weather reliving the nice morning I had today.
Legs moving ...step by step then round and around...running and cycling. A rhythm and pattern once so burned in now renewing.
"After your first day of cycling, one dream is inevitable. A memory of motion lingers in the muscles of your legs, and round and round they seem to go. You ride through Dreamland on wonderful dream bicycles that change and grow." H.G. Wells, The Wheels of Chance.
I ran across this quote and it seemed particularly appropriate these days. Thanks to Vicki for the bike ride and Bonnie for the run today.
My topic for today's H.E.B. Lunch n Learn was plateaus and how we all must overcome those moments in time where we feel we aren't moving foward as fast as we'd like. Remembering to not just use numbers, but assess how we feel, what we're able to do, what we can fit into and how we build our community along the way will help us overcome plateaus. Last time, I had them do a tabata workout (20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest X 8) of their favorite exercises like squats, lunges, jumping jacks, burpees, running in place. Today, it was about slow controlled movement so I channeled my mother-in-law, Mary Jo Hodges, and showed them some basic Tai Chi moves then had them do Y-T-W- L's along with some side laying leg lifts and clamshells.
My early morning conditioning class focused on a core & strength workout using TRX. I'm finding that I really like the training options it provides. Here's hoping those in my class like it now too!
I've just finished my chocolate milk and am now enjoying a nice cup of tea.
The memory of motion lingers on and the sun is soothing....I'm basking :)
