Once on the treadmill or stationery bike, I get lost in my own world in literally seconds after I hear the familiar voices stored in my little white companion.
I forget my exhaustion, my stress or my troubles. I go into a mode of reflection and recollection. I relive forgotten scenes. I gather my thoughts. I regain my calm. I reset my mind. I escape from reality and seek refuge in a fantasy world. My mind is free to wander and wonder. No interruptions. Only single-mindedness.
All the while, I just keep going on the machine, pushing my body for just yet another few minutes. Until I complete my 60 minutes.
One of my particular favorites which I often listen to is White Flag by Dido. It is funny that I only paid attention to the lyrics recently, despite listening to it for almost two years.
I am back to my running and has started to keep a record of how I do per session. I have a goal to work towards. I just love how my body and mind feel straight after an intensive workout.
Hmmm... if only I can retreat to some luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets with a masseuse waiting for me after my bath.....
