No photos, just notes. <3 

Creativity takes so many forms. Building a community is one of the ultimate forms!

So so wild. 

Eventually you'll notice the suffering become easier. If not, notice more, take the running even slower."noticing is in my soul" - I loved this line.

Trail running is the best. I prefer it and recommend it. 

Hey Corrie and Mandi!Ahhh, sorry to hear about the wildfires. So scary. I hope you and your network are okay. Personally, I'm not great on the treadmill either. Other than putting a podcast on, calling someone, or watching something, it's very much an act of building mental resilience. 

An an alternative:You could break up your long run by switching out the treadmill for other aerobic training. E.g. if your longrun is 40min. 20 min on the bike, 10min run, 10 min stairclimber. 

Remember, the bike, stairclimber, elliptical, you're still "collecting heartbeats". You won't get the same impact through your bones, but it will still work!Let me know how you go. JL

Loose but playful.Loose but light. Loose but kind on yourself. Loose but strong. Loose and relaxed. Loose and smiling as you run downhills.It'll be interesting what you notice, I feel with this feeling, you'll let go of a lot. All the tensions you hold on and grapple with, they'll slowly subside. Excited to see where you go over the next 8 weeks!

A great little activity I do, is to keep a list of notes on your phone. Anything no matter how big or small that you're proud of day to day, write it down. Watch the list slowly build, and next time someone asks you can be like "well.... actually, let me tell you!"

Love this. I agree with the shorter interval work. It's intense, but short enough to keep you present. You have nothing else but to run hard and fast, and simply, be alive! And in that doing, you'll automatically move fluidly. Excited to hear and see what comes up creatively as well for you as you nurture this feeling.
