Morning Yoga Routine #2 (20 minutes) 

Start your day off right! Wake up and loosen up with this complete 20 minute yoga routine. Stretch out all of your stiff joints and breathe deep through the slow flow and holding hatha poses. 

Alternate this routine with the Energizing Morning Yoga Routine for some variety in your morning yoga routine :) 

The video is enough visual and audio cueing to help anyone through the routine. The more you practice yoga the easier it will flow, and the stronger you’ll be :)

Hey kid. You’re at an age where I’m pretty sure you’re about to have sex soon, or actually, you might even already be having it and you’re just *that* good at keeping it from me. I don’t really fret over that because I trust you. And because I trust myself and the job I’ve done as your...

When you think owning a gun should be more of a right than being cared for when you are sick, you really need to re-examine your priorities.

on my trail run today: jack-in-the-pulpit, multiple species of trillium, trout lily and lots of wee violets flowering.  <3

i don't believe in the prevailing metaphor for Spring 'round these parts, but i do admit that this time of year is pretty much magical.

For anyone doubting the existence of challenging technical trail of a respectable distance in north-central Alabama: I’d like to introduce you to my friend, Ruffner. #runbuts

EAST COAST "MOUNTAIN" ULTRAS

When I look at the total elevation gain:

When I actually go run on the terrain:

initially started really running trail in California, moved to the SE.  this is true.  it's not the elevation, necessarily.  (though there is climbing.  lots of it.)  it's the rocks.  and the roots.  and the mud.  all terrain.

1. push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.

2. push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling...

i miss california.

[anotherfreckle-blog]

... really missing Southern California. 

We're doing ok here in Nashville, and there are definitely improvements in our life situation as compared to when/where we were in LA, but still. 

Morning marine layer, Saturday morning group run in the mountains (oh, the mountains,) the ocean breeze, the ability to sit outside and eat our dinner in our backyard without being eaten alive by bugs, our big garage and bike storage, our local fruit stand on the next block over to get my fresh-chopped mango/pineapple with lime juice and chili powder, farmers markets that are vendor-only and loaded with organic produce, my running/swimming/groups and routes, friends nearby.

Still adjusting, I guess.

You will have stomach issues. You may vomit. Somewhere between Foresthill and the River you may see God (or a mountain lion) and that, in and of itself, will make you want to puke. Don’t worry, you’re not gonna die. Just barf, deal with it, have a little pity party and move on.

Western States is this weekend and although I recall seeing the post race recaps last year I will be paying more attention to the action tomorrow. The quote above is from an open letter to all runners and seemed like sounds advice.
