4 Ramadhan, 1446
Surprised myself at the gym after breaking the fast. I'd intended to limit myself to 50 minutes, or less if feeling iffy, on the elliptical trainer, but easily managed a full 60 minutes. And I could happily have gone on to complete my usual full routine on the weights but cut this short due solely to time constraints and needing to get back for dinner and further prayers. I didn't expect to feel quite so 'normal' after just 3 days of fasting but am quietly celebrating the fact that this is the case.
Not over-celebrating though. I'm used to the struggle suddenly and unexpectedly becoming more difficult, more taxing. That's the point. of course. This isn't meant to be easy. But it's meant to be do-able, and quietly revelatory. And it works.
