Dear Coach-
Another leap (or pedal) forward on my Wholistic Fitness path;
Just finished my first cardio commute to work at my midtown office. A
wonderful ride - down the Hudson River bikeway to 96th Street, over to
Central Park, and down the length of the park to my doorstep. Total
elapsed time: 48 minutes, the same as it would have taken me on the
subway. Energy boost: enormous, unlike the subway, which can be an energy
drain.
Thank you-
Allan
Student L -
welcome to Urban Warriorism..
Wholistic Fitness warriors are warriors without weapons,
we attempt to change the world
by changing our negative and slothful tendencies and habits.
congratulations on your bicycle instead of car commuting.
make NO mistake about this:
in your self propelled effort there is great beauty
and inner power.
in your weaponless warriorism
i - for one - find greater faith
in all humanity.
thank you for choosing to be brave.
now,
pace yourself.
Warriorism requires a lifetime
of inner workouts
expressed through outer ones.
so enjoy your ride
without pride
just
feel the Grace
of
your
breath
flowing through.
i bow to you...my Friend on the Noble Path,
coach ilg
