Nadia was, as usual, in a state of prayerlike trance. Her exercises were always stenuous; such was the way that her god demanded. As she ran at a heavy pace, she uttered out a breathy chant. 

As she came to a stop, Nadia did a final stretch before sitting cross legged on the ground and going into the normal post workout meditation. This was but one part of her daily observance; and Nadia was more than happy to observe the tenants. She must always be prepared.
