Engagement

Very good Tuesday workout with Mr PT.  The Karate Lady (although given the Dragon Tattoo on her back, I could call her The Lady with the Dragon Tattoo) was on the bike next to me, and the Body Balance Lady on the other side – trying out new rpm shoes for the first time.  Nice contrast in disciplines there. These ladies, apart from the T lady, and the LM front of house, are really the only people I talk to @RPM.  Which you know, is not to say that I don’t value the discourse with these ladies – because I do.  Just a reflection that after a year or so of being a regular in class I don’t really engage further.

Engagement is all relative.  eg.  I don't really like superficial stuff like for example, when someone asks  "how are ya?" and then don't wait for the recipient of the question to respond!!! It's just the big question of the day rocking through my head is: how am I going to meet “new” people, if I don’t talk to “new” people.  Although of course, with RPM the primary focus is on riding, not talking.  Just a little personal reflection and  herausforderung  (challenge).  I’m not sure the K lady counts as  a rpm contact, because we go way back re working together to some pretty helcium filled working days. I suppose I am commenting on the social interaction thing, becasue I feel the "need" to meet new people - and a little more meaningful engagement all up.  It remains all about the bike, but sometimes it's not all about the bike.  Contradictory, I know.

Anyway, tomorrow I'm sure I'll have something else more pressing to think about.  But that's whats on my mind today.

Had the serious munchies when I went back to work.  Serious.  Must eat more protein tomorrow to avoid that.
