#Gym stats!
It felt good to run again, but I am taking it easy on my knee and limited myself to a 30 minutes at a slower pace.
If I gave into my want to push here, I'd be down again. I'll do another light run tomorrow, and then my new shoes arrive. Hopefully by Monday I'll be good to resume full sessions back at the gym.
My knee is sore, but its not injured. Patience pays in progress.
Good night groovy souls. I'm up way to late, but looking to get back on the treadmill tomorrow.
My knee messing up has derailed me but its feeling better and I went through range of motion exercises with minimal pain.
Going to try and get back to it tomorrow.
If I can't I think I'll do a fast.
Rough starts happen, but with persistence and patience I'll soon be rocking right a long.
Onward, towards the dawn!
#Gym Stats!
I am shifting up my focus a bit, limiting myself to 2 hours, with just one half an hour strength session.
I am happy with where I am in terms of strength and am making slow and steady progress.
My main focus though has always been running and I'm making strides there that I want to focus on and push further. I never thought I'd be running this fast, this long.
I'm trying to work smarter, and give myself the space and recovery needed to hit the goals I have set for 2024.

Good morning groovy souls!
It's gym time! We are on the bounce and on target. It's a great day because we have all these moments together to grow, live and travel together on the journey.
It is a great comfort for me to slide back into more normal rhythms, and patterns. Breaks and rest periods are important, but routine is like coming home again.
Onward, towards the dawn!
#Gym stats!
Starting the year off right with a solid 10k.
The hardest step is always the first step back. I've been down for days because of holiday stress, GI issues, and an aching knee.
It's easy to become discouraged in those moments. Before I ran I was more than content to sit, but to give into that is to set the grooves for new habits that will do nothing but harm me.
Perseverance and persistence will win the day long after motivation has fled. You got this!
Happy New Year groovy souls!
Good morning! I'm taking it slow this morning, about to do my meditation before doing a run.
A new year is before us, but that is true with each new day. So long as we breathe, we always have the opportunity to start again, to choose better, to take steps towards better.
Life is a canvas. Each day is a new beginning, not just this one. You always have it within you to shine brighter than you ever have before!
Onward, towards the dawn!
Good night Coso friends and Happy New year!
I'll be running at home in the morning, and by the time I greet you all it will be firmly into 2024 for most.
Thank you Coso buddies for all the joy you've given me. That is far more than a platitude. This place has been a doorway to so many new and treasured friendships, and moments of deep joy.
You've encouraged me, inspired me, and been there for me. It means the world.
Onward, towards 2024!
Happy New Year rad souls!
The New Year is a fascinating time, where, as a culture, we seize upon the hope of new days, while we look forward and look back
It is a macrocosm of each new day. I think of the Gatha, "Waking up this morning I smile. 24 brand new hours are before me. I vow to live fully in each moment, and to look on all beings with eyes of compassion."
Today is a day where we celebrate that every moment we are, is a moment to begin to take a step towards becoming more ourselves
Good morning groovy souls!
I'm awake and on the bounce!
Today is going to be a rest day, where I work to get back on schedule.
All life is sacred, my dear friends, and that includes yourself. Please remember to show compassion not just outwardly but inwardly. You, too, are deserving of patience, deserving of love, deserving of empathy.
This can be a hard thing, because its easy to be hard on ourselves, but what you cultivate inside will show outside.
You are worth it!
Going to say good night now groovy souls!
I missed much of the Alice thing, but if you see her, remind her she's late for tea.
Coso is underfunded this month, but whenever that happens I see people cheering, donating, hosting auctions... It's the community that makes this place strong.
It's pretty special. To all of you that make Coso special. Thank you for the light you bring into the world, and all you do to keep this place going.
Onward, towards the dawn!
