currents...

my days.
have been a revolving cycle.
of.

dylan records.
documentaries.
research.
marathon training.
nephew visits.
whole food runs.
bread baking.
AM yoga.
fried egg + avocado sandwiches.
and the possibility of becoming a midwife.


the current is fast.
but i feel calm behind my oar.

sipping my favorite honey oatmeal smoothie--
while listening to
this miss marple mystery
&
this fabulous dylan tune.


planting detroit beets.

admiring the vibrancy of my new purple hose.

contemplating a drive to the grove for a proper barefoot trail run.

happening upon downy bird feathers.

tip-toeing down the rock path to the garden.


hey, july.
welcome to 2011.


enjoy your holiday weekend.

:: happy feet

i took the plunge.

brand new birthday vibrams.

::: oh mr. sun, sun.....mr. golden sun.

enjoying a GORGEOUS day with:

laced up running shoes.


new lululemon attire.


homemade orange marmalade.


a garden-- thawing & ready for tending.

::: training

{via}



its week three now.

three weeks into my 5K training.

three weeks that i've been incorporating yoga & running
into my daily routine.

i feel motivated.
i feel alive.
i feel fabulous.

i hit the track outside the other day.

oh the refreshing burst i felt with the crisp air in my lungs.

i am thoroughly enjoying this fresh adventure!


anyone else out there lacing up their sneakers and giving this running thing a go?

:: saturday bliss.

(loving this!!)

my saturday:

oatmeal, milk & honey smoothie breakfast.

yoga.

5K training (week 3--woot woot!)

weekend grocery run.

"cook-luck" with friends.
(theme: "yo mama": cooking a favorite dish your mom makes)



deep breath. sigh.
its a beautiful weekend.

:: the distance

{via}

i've done something i never thought i'd do.

i signed up for a 5K.

as a young girl who hated to jog even 1 mile in gym class--
running in a marathon-type race was always
out of the question.

then last week--
while driving to work-
i passed a billboard for the detroit marathon.
and something clicked.

i wanted to do that.
i would do that.

and so it's begun.
daily doses of yoga and running.

i'm starting slow--
for i am nowhere near race-ready.
but its an invigorating challenge.
and i wanted to share it with all of you.

my dailymile counter is new on the sidebar.
follow my miles.
and, perhaps, start tracking your own.

here's to health.
to goals.

& to doing what you never thought you could do.
