Today was my Xtrain day. I headed off to the gym with Ella in tow to do a spin class with a great instructor named Jen. (Ella goes to the daycare) I like Jen's personality. She's warm and friendly and seems very grounded oh, and she kicks your butt. I was on a bike in front and tried to keep up with these two young and buff guys to the right of me. It was cool seeing myself in the mirror. I can already tell that my body is changing. It is amazing how the body adapts to the demands placed upon it. I love the pouring out of sweat that a spinning class gives...and I love the pump of the music and the yelling of the teacher to give it all you've got...it's a riot! LOVE IT!
Another thing I love is that for the first time in years, I feel my body healing and getting stronger. My chronic back, shoulder and neck issues are healing. What a gift this is. I know part of it is my chiropractor but I know that the bigger part is that I am strengthening my bod. I am so thankful for our move to CA. because it has given me the chance to concentrate on myself and get healed. I have put my life on hold for so many years going through infertility treatments and then adoption and infertility again. I finally have the time and the resources to make some changes. It's never been convenient for me to work out and get in shape. I'm glad my day in the sun has come.
Tomorrow is my long run and it's raining outside. I hope it dries up by morning. Or it's treadmill city.
