And this!

If you've ever been to our house, you know that for the past few years we've had a disgusting old blanket hanging in the door frame that leads upstairs to the hot, dog poop, old clothes infested attic.

But, no more! We finally have a door, thanks to the Roberts men and their fine craftsmanship!

Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead

In my post 15 mile run stupor, I watched this film this morning. An overweight man with a debilitating disease goes on a 60 day juice fast that leads to a complete life change. He inspires many along the way, including me!

Watch it, y'all!
Buy a juicer!
Change your life!

Things I'm beginning to like that I never thought I would

1. Morning Runs: Since it's been so hot lately, I've been forced to do many of my runs in the wee hours of the morning. Waking up has never been my forte, but once I do it and get out there, the morning run is absolutely centering and peaceful. A great way to start the day. And, when you get off of work in the evening and you're dog tired you can head straight for the cold beer and skip the excruciating hot run since you've already done it.

2. Music with a twang: I'm ironically beginning to love twangy country music. Not pop country, but powerful folk bluesy country. There is something so soulful about it! Plus, it just feels right to be twangin' out down south...like you're doing something right.

3. Cucumbers: Seriously! I've always loved pickles but never cucumbers until lately. Just add a little salt, and it might as well be a pickle.

4. IPAs: I always thought these hoppy beers tasted like aspirin. Now, I taste layer upon layer of exotic flowers and fruits.


Things I am still trying to like but fear I never will:

1. Tube tops
2. Earrings
3. Onions
4. The smell of Old Spice
5. Whiskey

Body Mind

As I wobbled back and forth on one foot, trying to balance in tree pose with eyes closed, I wondered Why does my foot wobble in this way, and not in another? And, what does this say about my body, how I stand, where I put my weight, where I hold tension? And what does that say about me and what's going on in my mind?

I've always been fascinated by the mind body relationship. As well as, the idea that certain problems that one has in the yoga practice have a direct translation off the mat.

This is why I want this book. Belated birthday present, anyone?

Totally hydrated

If you have not noticed, we have been in a serious heat wave. This intense heat has made me appreciate my old friend, water. I dream of water. I drink of water.

What I SHOULD be doing

A metaphorical look at my week

I need to hit that box and get a star.
