Shine On
I didn’t want to work out yesterday.
I wasn’t tired or sore. It wasn’t time for a rest day. I just really didn’t feel like working out.
So I walked. And walked. And by the end of the day I had covered over 7 miles. It’s a good thing I covered so much ground because I am a little behind on my February walking goal! So far this month I have walked 47.5 miles and ran 6.2, I can totally walk another 52.3 and run 23.8 over the next 13 days. It certainly seems doable but we’ll see…
How is your February milage going? Have you broke 100 yet? 😉
Oh yeah, I also got a workout hauling 12 sets of handweights up a big flight of stairs!
These were bought Monday for my new training studio.
I had a little help 🙂
Once I get the mats cut my studio will be ready to go for Saturday’s Grand Opening festivities!
If you are in the Charlottesville area, come check us out this Saturday between 10-2:30. I am teaching FREE sample exercise classes, Tate is talking about Chiropractic care, Kath is sharing her expertise on real food, and there will be delicious real food and kefir soda for your tasting pleasure.
It’s going to be a good time! It’s totally free and open to the public so bring a friend!
The full lineup of happenings can be found here.
You can read past posts about the clinic here, here, and here.
I don’t generally eat a lot of salad in the winter, opting instead for veggie soups to fill my fresh food quota. This winter’s been different though, I’ve been craving and eating fresh salads many times a week.
Like yesterdays lunch
Arugula and green pepper topped with tofu and sweet potato (sauteed in a little coconut oil, nutritional yeast, and soy sauce). I think today’s lunch will have to be repeat, this was so good!
Time for a short kettlebell workout and a short run then time to really get to work.
I want to leave you with this awesome quote from Marianne Williamson
Our Deepest Fear
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were all meant to shine, as children do.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
Shine on!
