It is one of the few times mid-week that my brain can switch into "art mode" because im usually busy worrying about other stuff - but sport is great for creativity, my mind can wander.
We did high knees, heel kicks, gecko press ups, superman, squat thrusts, double squats, 100's, star jumps, ski jumps, compass jumps, shuttles, press ups, ab crunches, skipping, saddle jumps and spotty dogs. Kim shouted these instructions at us above the pulsing 90's dance music.
The changing rhythm of our bodies is interesting to me, and that we are all performing the same actions more or less in sync. sometimes less is more interesting actually. Circuit training is an activity with no set outcome, but it is preparation for something else where these skills can be put to use. sometimes we are moving a lot, and other times we have to hold very still. I can see a lot of similarities here with my proposed work for Landguard.
I also feel like re-considering yoga - for the stillness aspect.
And the coloured markings on the sports hall floor were really catching my attention.
I'll sleep well tonight.

interesting Sam, myself and Diane are also in training at the moment- for a 10k run in May...to be followed by a half marathon in November. Just finished Haruki Marakami's 'What a talk about when I talk about running' collection of essays/thoughts on running- you should check it out?
