Flying on eight wheels

I have gone out of order this morning my coffee came second, other things came first........i had every intention of writing about my day yesterday. it was beautiful! I spontaneously dug my roller blades out and hit the bike path...........AMAZING. I love to rollerblade! the swish and sway of my skates. they never have to leave the pavement if you move just the right way......with the right kinda groove jammin in my ears, it is like flying! i LOVE it. my first intention was to go to the left. i know it. it's familiar, it's the "safe" side of the path. has more nature, would be more green. As hard as i tried i couldn't do it, i went right......into the city......the city i have grown to fear....for just cause, but that is what's so beautiful about what happened in that short hour. After i got past the over pass and a couple adjustments to my skates i was in the zone. just as when i do cardio at the gym, i look down. it is kind of my pace maker.......i meditate into my pace and stare down.....no distractions but then gently remind myself to look up.........once i am in that zone and can look up, it's still just me........no one who passes effects my bubble or my vision........i am in the zone.. after a couple times of reminding myself to look up i am finally there and wow. i started to skate into a storm and it was if the clouds parted for me to celebrate my flight after four years without. the city was green and full of expression and life. i was forgiving the city for my fears......then a deer crossed my path.......... i am getting a bit emotional typing this and didn't write about this in my book. this is from memory so I am sure it's choppy, unedited and not to it's fullest beauty!!!! it was amazing yesterday.......when i figure out more about blogging i will add pictures. Dayton became beautiful to me again yesterday. i didn't miss Chicago as much because of that. and that is saying something! after my flight i gathered with my yoga family and did some hot yoga to finish the day. i feel whole again. i haven't felt that way since two years prior to my shoulder reconstruction.........oh yeah forgot to say that......i had it in my posts I erased ; ) i had shoulder reconstruction last february and am just now getting to semi-full swing again which has been very very very trying for me!!!!!! lots of torn bicep muscles and sore elbows because I have yet to learn the art of control and patience. i like to push things to the max ........part of my addictive behavior that will be exposed in many many posts. i am an active person. the more i am doing the less i feel stressed. the more i release at the gym/yoga/bike path, the more room i have for other things in my life. if all people loved to work out as much as i did the world would never deal with obesity again. i am the crazy person that dances on the treadmill and you fear will fall off. i lose my balance sometimes, but have never actually fallen off in my 20 yrs of treadmill boogie ; ) i am able to refrain from hootin and hollerin unless i am in a spinning class and i just can't help myself there! that adrenaline peak is almost as equally incredible as an orgasm!!!! the site has changed since yesterday and now i can't find spell check. sorry if there are incorrect spellings : )
