The Perfect Game

It started out like any other day. I made my way to the Y for the Saturday spin, and little did I know that in over an hour I, your Pal, would be the new spin god. As I walked into the workout room I could sense something was just not right. Everyone seem a little on edge. that's when Heidi came rushing up to me yelling something. She was so excited I could not understand her. I told her to calm down, you know the way that I work my magic, and tell me what's all the hubbub about. She told me that there was no instructor for the class, and that things got mixed up and we would not have anybody to run the class. That's when your pal stepped up to the plate. "Don't you all fret, I'll run the class so everyone calm down and let get started." I quickly reached into my bag and pulled out some music. I got everybody set. But before I started I did have to help one of the riders set up. You do have to take some time for the little people. Heidi was some what of a help with this person when she finally did calmed down.

I was a little nervous at first but after a minute of so it just became so natural to me, like this is what I had been put on this earth to do. The warm up was flawless with everyone hanging on every word. After the warm up the the most perfect workout started. As I was yelling instruction to my class , they all were in this trance like state, because I had captured something wonderful and they were all just into this special ride that I was taking them on. We were all one, for that hour. When I said spin they spin, when I said run they ran, and when I let them rest , well the rested. They were hanging on every command . It was like I was the conductor of spin and they where the orchestra following my baton of spin instructions. At the end, the whole class was just totally worn out. But not that exhausted, not to come up to me, and tell me that I am their spin god. I brushed it off and told them, "Anyone of you could do it ,you just have to believe in yourself." After everyone had left the workout room, and I was alone, I had time to reflex on what had just happened. And I think it was just a perfect moment of Zen. It was like a perfect game in baseball, it just doesn't come along every day.
