Rasita My Family, My Animals, My Food

I have been going to running club for a few weeks now, and I think I can feel it start to work on me. I still need to work out this feeding the kids and husband thing yet though.

Last night I was thinking about how I observe the people there, how my insecurities play on my thoughts, then how I throw those aside and think of something totally different.

When I first went, I did not think I would be able to do it, that I would be snubbed and left behind. I was so very wrong. The people there have to be the nicest people I have met before, and they were welcoming to those who are new or old members, and even those who are just checking it all out. They were encouraging and not off putting.

After this I then noticed the bodies and how everyone in the club had these superfit, slender, good-looking bodies. Two thoughts crossed my mind – I will end up like this; and I have such a long way to go, can I make it.

Next came the noticing of how easy they ran, and that they were able to do these runs and not look as if they have even gotten up a sweat or exerted themselves. It was at this stage that I was settling into more of a routine, listening to my legs and working at my breathing.

Last night I watched the legs of those running past. They all had a couple of things in common – smooth, visible muscles and easy running strides. I noticed the muscles more so, and have noticed muscles/lines on people a lot more since I did drawing lessons a few years back.

I handed in my forms last night to become a proper member and my goals are now club knowledge. So, lots of work is headed my way and 1 year to do it in.

The two pictures on this post are an example of what I drew during those art classes a few years back.
