Friday, October 13, 2023, For the past several months, I've been training for a half marathon (13.1 miles or about 21 kilometers). The race is 9 days away from today and, for the past ~2 months, my running training has amped up to very long amounts of time, long distances, etc. I've found that, when I do a 9 mile training run, I feel that, to help recover, my body insists that I sleep in.....all that to say, for awhile now, my normal 4:15am waking time, has been chucked out the window on most days, and I sleep in as late as 6:00am (or even later, I'm afraid). Today, for whatever reason, I naturally woke up at my normal 4:15am time (even before my alarm went off). I'm on my mat writing this before I've started my practice and, for whatever reason, I felt a strong understanding of why I come to my mat, why I've developed a practice, and why I believe time spent on my mat is, by far, the healthiest thing I can do for myself......... ....Peace is what's obta...
For the past decade I've had a yoga practice that has helped to shape and form me as a person. I hope you find this blog engaging and enriching, and use it to help shape your mind and body. Namaste
