Training Love


Can hardly wait for the weekends. Not just because it’s the weekend.
Because I know I can get in a long ride and not feel rushed.
This morning I booted out the door at 5:30am for a Bikram Yoga class. The plan is to set myself up for the pedal to the metal by aligning and strengthening my flexibility.
Balance and core are also key to the build up of mileage. 
It was magic this morning. I become more tuned into my body each class. I don’t have time for everyday. When I go, it counts.
Since sourcing training programs and speaking with pals, those in the know I’ve come up with a regime that time permitting I plan to stick with.
Doesn’t matter the weather. The weekend rides, back to back slow go, build the base are the light in the sky.
This morning as I bent over eyes to my thighs, sweat rolling down between my legs, head to my knees, I asked my temple to take me there.
I also asked for forgiveness for any bad I’ve done in the past.
There’s only good from now on.
Training love.

The Body is Home


The roof I have over my head isn’t my home. My body is.
With it I breathe, smell, feel, touch, laugh, cry, hear, sing and taste.
Inner peace is in the soul. Deep inside. Soothing and warm. Friendly at all times. Loving and free,
Nourishment is survival. Air. Leafy greens, proteins, fruits. Water.
Love.
When things are injured - the body repairs. With help. Careful intake of the appropriate elements.
But toxins surround. In the environment, tangled in food and even our water.
It copes. Mechanisms inside adapt.
Or it is allowed to build up. Blackness may appear. Cancer or other diseases take root.
It’s the mind that directs. Stress plays. Diminishes the senses. Stuns the sustenance.
Hard for some to let it go. To free oneself.
Time marches on. The body ages. Years pass. It shrinks. We accept.
The body it’s our home.
Five weeks today I fell off my road bike and fractured by pelvis in two places and my clavicle.
Today I am so grateful for my healing.
Each day my body is getting stronger.
My body, my temple – my home.
