Front row

I moved to the "front row" today.  The reality is if I was an All Black, and right  now its all about the rugby eh? - I would be a forward.  Whereas the aspiration is of course to become a speedster like Israel Dagg - and like him execute the gestures at the end of a sucessful run...although what are those gestures about?

Based on the random sample of two rpm sessions, I think sitting in the front row  does make me “lift my game”.   And every improvement I can make is an advance that I need to make.

Good session with TJ today.  Partly because I liked some of the “old” tracks, even though I like the new release.  I wont be able to test the theory out on the Hutt girl until next week, as I have other commitments (like lunch with one of my Taupo supporters – will need to confirm if that status still applies - I hope so!) tomorrow.

I had a brief discussion with the Body Balance Lady today re how she wouldn’t need to save my seat today for the 1230 session.  This seemed to confuse her.   (tough call now on a Tuesday deciding which class to go to - at least for the next few weeks while I have work - if I have a "break" again I'd make it a double session - although of course the goal needs to be not to have a "break" again).  It was too complicated to explain to the BBL within the brevity of the conversation that I have actually moved to the “front row” in any case.  So, instead we talked about how tragic it was we had both missed Sonny Bill Williams at Extreme yesterday.  Tragic indeed! I may make an exception for the sessions with the BBL to revert to sitting next door to her, as I enjoy her company – and for a "yoga lady" she's pretty astute with her random observations - or maybe it is because she is a yoga lady that she sees things in balance and perspective.

Today J added another conviction to his file extending out his sentence.   It's kind of easy for me to cite the mantra that there are consequences to the choices we make, without wanting to pass judgement.   Because I love J with all my heart.  Maybe because there are some parts of J (not the convictions) but other parts I recognise that resonnate.  When you go though a "phase" in life where you look for the answers in the wrong places.  Ultimately though whether its the law of the land or the law of God you abide to - it comes down to "doing the right thing at the right time" - or something like that.

Anyway its got those thoughts circulating in my head about the cause and effect thing and consequences re training.   Train properly and hard, and there will be good results.  Train half heartedly and there will be half hearted results.  Why give half a heart when you can give your whole heart? - that's the essence and fundamental thing about being passionate about something.

So, those are today's "reflections" - my current cowo's do "reflections".   I don’t usually touch on matters of the heart.  Maybe its time to, again.
