4 hours spin and my issue with PDA....

My spin instructor, Marg is running the London Marathon next year. It takes minimum of 10 months to train for the marathon and at least 2 weeks to recover from doing this 26 mile run. I would love to have the energy and stamina that she has when I'm 50! So part of her fundraising was do a 4 hour spin in front one of our local supermarkets - Sainsbury's.

Now spin, for all those who are not in the know, is an aerobic exercise that takes place on a specially designed stationary bicycle called (obviously enough) a spinning bike. This is great and burns some serious calories 450 in about 45 mins! I'm addicted to it! I was up at 7am this morning to get picked up by my spin instructor at 8:30am. Helped her move the spin bikes from upstairs the gym, down the hill, across the pedestrian crossing, down another hill, across the car park and to the front of Sainsbury's.

Here comes my issue with PDA. My spin instructor I think from the way she talks about things went through a really rough time with her previous relationship. And I am glad that she has someone new in her life, funnily enough her running partner, who's also running with her in the London Marathon. Maybe I'm a bit of a Scrooge, but PDA does gross me out. I guess I feel uncomfortable because I don't know where to look. Do I just stare at you while you exchange passionate kisses and grope each other's butts?! I think there needs to be some kind of etiquette for those who are observers of PDA.

So we spun...spun? Yeah I think that's right for 4 hrs. 10am to 2pm to raise money for Children with Leukemia, the charity that my spin instructor is running for. And it was an amazing time. Great atmosphere. Good friends together. Singing along to our favourite tracks and making people feel very tired just looking at us! :o)

There are times though where I wish I took more opportunities to share my faith to people. My spin instructor knows I'm a Christian and another lady who spins with me knows that I go to church and that to a non-believer that is as good as having some kind of faith.

And the best surprise when I came home! Chris gave me the phone and said there's a message for you. I received a voicemail from my brother! Burnt bridges are slowly being rebuilt. It's taken us 17 years to get this far and I just know that God's take us all the way. He doesn't do things half-baked!
