Last night’s recharge meditation was just what I needed. Today I feel great and this morning I woke up ready to start a new day and a new Challenge week. Today’s fitness activity was a 2 1/2 mile run to the beach and back. My new neighborhood is so cool. I love jogging past all the little beach houses and the closer I get to the coast, the more beach bungalo-ey they get. I finally feel like I’m living “California.” It only took 2 years.
I’m continuing to feel really good on my runs. No aches or cramps. Feet feel good and breathing is steady. I’m certainly getting the hang of it. After my run today I did some good stretching, which I have been forgetting to do. The pre-run stretch I remember, but when I return I’m all about getting out of my sweaty clothes and tracking MyRoute, that I forget to make sure my body is where it needs to be. Note to self…REMEMBER TO STRETCH! So I did today, and had some lunch and got myself ready for work. On the car ride in, I felt soooo good. It was a combination of adrenaline and euphoria. I was calm, awake, and happy to be alive. How’s that for a new drug?!
So enough about me. I’d like to give a High Five shout out to The All-Star who’s starting his first day at The Art Institute today. This is just another reason why we call him The All-Star. He knows what he wants and how to go out and get it, and of course, can succeed in whatever he sets his mind to.
Way to go baby! Totally proud of you, (and you’re super cute)! And I’m a little jealous, I wanna take art classes. Maybe I’ll find a pottery class. I still have my tools from moons ago. Ahh, the power of inspiration.
Speaking of inspiration… Here’s yesterday’s Zen calender meditation. I think it was more appropriate for yesterday but we can continue to think about it today. Aloha!
