Inspiration

I recently decided to take up spinning as a form of exercise. While taking this class we went through a few instructor some purely sucked and one was friggin' amazing. Granted she does not look like your average or even expected spin instructor but don't get it twisted ole girl rawks.

As I gear up for class today I am wondering to myself: exactly what is my inspiration for me doing this and consistently at that? I am famous for picking up a new habit or hobby and then dropping it shortly after. But I find with spinning I look forward to it and I enjoy it like it's not exercise. Yet again I asked what is my true motivation for this class?

I believe it's that in spinning my mind is FREE there are 45 minutes to an hour where I can literally let go and RUN. The music is blaring people are clapping and yelling and I'm in my own world barely hearing any of this. I'm letting go of stress, emotions and thoughts that are cluttering my mind. I use the time that we are "climbing" to let it all out especially if something has me a lil pissed. I close my eyes and push, push, push until I can;t anymore and I feel amazing at my strength and perseverance that even I didn't know I possessed. I challenge myself each week to last a lil longer in certain positions than I did the week before. I am instantly proud of myself when I do. But I do find that if and when I close my eyes and go I am a lil better. Though my eyes can't remain closed through an entire class it reminds me of how good it would feel to just put on running shoes and close my eyes and run. I think I'd call it blinded running. I am obsessed with how good that could actually feel that I feel the fresh air in my lungs and see the beauty of darkness as the cool breeze hit my sweaty and balmy skin from the running. Crazy as this sounds it's almost a fantasy just because of the freedom while running wild, though it contradicts itself it's beauty personified to me.

My inspiration for spinning is the challenge, the thrill and the blinded running. I am peddling that bike and some days I am running from all the BS the week has already offered and the future BS to come. My inspiration is my moment of freedom and bliss where no one and nothing else matters but the fact that I get the chance to run until it hurts.
Every ones inspiration is different, this is just my inspiration for Spinning. After an emotionally draining and irritable day I look forward to spinning tonight for the ease and peace of mind.
