WOW

Where does the time go?  I can't believe it's been since January that I've posted.  Life!

I don't want today's post to be about anything negative, only positive.  I'm working on that.
I recently joined Kevala Yoga in El Dorado Hills and I also decided to be apart of a "beta" program they are offering, called yoga 201.  It is a program to help you bring your yoga outside the studio.  Live your yoga.  We're 2 weeks in and I'm already learning a lot, about myself really.

I'm learning to meditate and I'm learning to let things (emotions) go.  I'm feeling good.

Last weekend was mine and Mark's 9th wedding anniversary and we once again went up to the mountains.  I just love it up there.  We spent everyday at the river.  Mark fished and I read.  I was definitely in a happy place.  You can see all the pictures HERE.




This week has been tiring as I've had a few late nights, one of those nights was taking a cooking class at Whole Foods in Sacramento.  The instructor was Jill Nussinow - The Veggie Queen - on pressure cooking.  I'm so excited to feel more comfortable with my pressure cooker.

I've also gone back to Diane to help me with my weight loss.  I'm still struggling.  She is now promoting plant-based eating and I'm excited to move back into my vegan lifestyle.  I'm really hopeful to be able to eliminate all animal proteins and still be able to recover from long runs/rides.

Oh and I've committed to my one and only 50k for this year.  Wilder Ranch 50k on Oct 6th.  I kind of lost my running mojo, but I'm hopeful that with the support of my trail running amigos, Lisa and Ralph, I'll once again find it again and we'll rock Wilder Ranch.

Ok that's it for now.  I have goal of at least a once a week update here.  Let's see if I can do.

Get dirty this weekend!!
