Workout Song of the Summer: Rock Your Body by the Black Eyed Peas(my prediction) plus SW buzz at RTZ in East Hampton

There was so much excitement today at RTZ in East Hampton! I arrived about 30 minutes early with coffee to catch up with L and M.K. before Marion's 10:30 Cyko Zone. We were all a buzz because Marion added a surprise restorative yoga class following her 10:30, downstairs with Jessica Bellafatto. Hip openers immediately after Cyko Zone--brilliant; I was thrilled to participate. So the buzz settled and the spin chat turns to L's paddle surfing class on Saturday with Gina(she loved it!) and I shared that a new friend of mine recently went to a retreat with Gina and Jessica in Puerto Rico. L looked at me with an puzzled face and asked if my friend made pinatas....I was stunned and exclaimed," yes! How do you know Meghan?" So L was like, "well, I don't really know her real name--have you heard of this site called SocialWorkout.com?" and I laugh thinking she's
joking(DOH--of course, I have!). L continues to educate me about Llaves on SW and HOW she won her trip to the retreat. With amazement, I back track, explain that I am a frequent reader on SW and confirm that Llaves is my friend who makes pinatas.....and the girls were chasing me down for llaves
contact info for up and coming children's parties. my IPhone sent the love in a group email and the piñata magic created a stream of emails. Eventually, I
inquire with L and M.K. about their opions of SW.com--they LOVE it; they read and occasionally post about Marion in support of Ride the Zone. So cool!! My friends are on SW, as well! They loved hearing about the awesome
people I've met through SW and how genius the Eds are behind the sceene.

The Ride: intense, challeging, very fast and to a killer playlist. Our second
interval, was out of the saddle on a flat to "Rock Your Body" by the black eyed peas. I predict that this may be the workout song of the summer. I took off, Sans Hangover and ready to go, when we arrived at the hill I was in my
own space and time. This was a climb where we added resistance eight times to "just say yes" with steady cadence. Marion sent me a big shout out
for being in my own zone but it didn't sink in until later because I was so deep in my own place. After we reached the top of the hill a new song came on and we continued to climb with a slightly lighter cadence. The entire ride
was spot on and my girl, Marion, shared her gift with all of us once again.

Yoga at RTZ: Jessica is lovely and articulate. Our restorative class for spinners was great. Some of the participants were silly because they're new
to things like tree pose and pigeon. Jessica will be back next Sunday along
with other surprise guests.
