So there I was at the Sunday Spinning Class and suddenly, totally, fully I was doing what all the other people were doing! Four weeks in and my body just seemed to “get it”! I turned up the dial, leaned forward from my abs, pushed my hips back, pedalled with my feet (hehe, yeah, I did) and put my arms in the racing position, tucked my elbows in and sailed up the “hill”! It actually started to feel like it was mildly me, that I could do this, that my legs would carry me and that they would actually enjoy doing this over time.

Just goes to show that you have to start at your own pace, build it up and maybe, just maybe, you actually will eventually change if you don’t give up. Does that mean, I can do a 100km race in the wind and up a mountain? I have no idea, but I have enrolled for Around the Bay in a Day, the 50km ride around Melbourne in October, so that will be a milestone…I suppose I had better get a bike…and some insurance!
