Thank you 7 o'clock class

I love my 7 o'clock exercise class. They are not over achievers, trying to beat their last PR. They are there to improve at a slower pace. I feel connected to them. They are nice to me. I am the slowest in the class. After one year of getting my ass over to class 4 times a week, I still lack so many functional and mobility movements. After a year of fantasizing that I will be one of those athletic ones, I know where I stand and I understand my limitations.

I hated the other classes though....

6am - 5:30 pm - 6 pm and 6:30 pm! I felt like a con interpolating myself in this perfect world of athleticism trying to match the expertise of others. But, everyone saw right through me. I was a bottleneck, reliability to their perfectly timed workout. No one wanted to be my partner and all the feeling of gym class poured over me, a child waiting desperately to be picked up by her classmates.

This is a tribute to all the nice people on 7 o'clock class, who simply accepted me and my abilities
