Cadence

While used as a cycling term - it can also mean anything that marks time. Sometimes, we don't even know that silent cadence of self doubt that marks the way we interact with the world. Round and round it goes - all the while ticking out the message - self doubt. The cycling term is simply defined as your pedal RPM. It's one of those training variables you can monitor while on the bike and use to improve your performance. I've actually never really kept track of my pedal cadence. However, I can tell you, the cadence of self doubt spins away all the time. But- this is precisely why I pedal, the bike cadence, each stroke is an accomplishment. Each stroke is closer to that goal. Up down. Up down. Round and Round.
