Trust Your Instructors

Very, very productive trapeze class this morning.  The instructors started out by telling me one specific thing to fix with my swing.  Then I fixed it.  Then we moved on to the next single specific thing to work on.  Then they decided my take-off from the board was abysmal.  So Hal went step by step and told me exactly what my feet, hips, shoulders, arms, eyeballs, and head should do during the take-off.  Then he made me do it on the ground like a zillion times.  I gotta be honest, it didn't FEEL that much better, but all 3 instructors told me I made really good progress, so I'll believe them.  Maybe it doesn't feel perfectly awesome because my body isn't used to it, and clearly what it was used to was the wrong thing to do, so maybe not feeling comfortable with it is a good thing.  New mission:  make the right things feel right.  

Then I walked home.  From 30th between 10th & 11th to 94th & 3rd.  Apparently its 4.5 miles.  Did it in 1 hour 10 minutes.  It was a BEAUTIFUL day for November in NYC, so I couldn't resist.  Also, walked from the 6 train to Trapeze school before class.  That was 20 minutes of walking.  Now I'm uber sore.  And exhausted.
