Today we went back to the YMCA and re-registered after almost a two-year absence, and we both had a good workout. We were in the room with big windows looking out at the Mystic River, and it was fun for me to enjoy the scene as I pedaled away on one of the bikes. I also brought my Bose headphones and listened to a wonderful recording of Wordsworth's "The Prelude" while I worked, a real treat for me. Somehow, his smoothly flowing rhythms blended fluidly with the movement of the pedals on the bike and the rising rhythm of my heart.
