Good morning groovy souls!

I'm feeling quite accomplished today. I ran almost 9 flat! Thats very close to 7 mph sustained for the whole hour of running.

It's the fastest I've ever been over time, and my sprint is even quicker. I was holding out at 8.5 for a couple minutes there, whittling down the seconds.

Somehow, I've found myself further down the path than I was at my peak in 2020.

The dawn always comes!

Good morning groovy souls! I’m helping my lawyer buddy at court again so I got up early!

I’m rocking my speed on the treadmill. I held 6.5 from minute 30 to 20 then 6.6 and faster from 20 to finish!

Hello Coso Buddies!

I'm still working a lot here in Richmond, and my schedule is often full to bursting.

I'm truly missing my time here and all of you wonderful souls.

I'm crushing it at the gym lately. Running sub 10, back to doing a 10k in an hour flat.

I'm feeling good about the progress I'm making there and here. Service is the path, but somedays get a touch long.

Focusing hard on self care. I'll be back home in about a month and I've got a new tattoo to look forward to on the 23rd!

Chonky Baby! #catsofcoso

Good morning groovy souls!

I am back from the Gym, my last session for the week, and saw it through.

It was a tough workout, but a good one, and I was eager to get going on my way there.

The best news is that my buddy is finally sleeping through the night, and they are getting their appetite back!

The dawn always comes!

The last few days have been intense but save for Wednesday I was able to get to the gym. I hit it hard yesterday and again today! Here are my numbers! I’m seeing improvements!

The saying "We do not get to choose our time" has been coming up a lot in my recollection lately.

It's easy to feel powerless in the face of national decrees, and movements, but freedom is something we hold in each of our hearts with every choice we make.

It has been said that dissent is the highest form of patriotism. Dissent, ultimately, is an individual choosing their own path, come what may.

To quote King :

Good afternoon groovy souls! It was a very busy morning! I went out for a hike on the James river with a local group of folks, Attended my Sangha virtually before that, and after went grocery shopping.

Now I'm letting my tofu cool that will be my staple protein the next few days and resting a bit.

Full days are good days. Richmond is dryer vent hot, but its a lovely city.

I worry about the drivers through. They seem to be very angry and deeply rushed.

Rocking it ! Day 5 of 6 ! I love being back at a gym!

Good morning groovy souls!

Time to get on the bounce and out to the gym. It's a beautiful Friyay full of possibilities for joy, wonder and discovery!

Be excellent to one another, and please be excellent to yourselves. You are each beautiful and sacred!

Let's do this!

Tonight is the debate, and I was watching the preshow, and then I realized what I most want to do...

I'm going to do what I can. I'm going to vote, and no matter what happens in November, it will not stop me from living my life, or pursuing my truth.

So why let what they say live rent free in my head?

Good morning groovy souls!

I’m in a hospital waiting room as my buddy is having surgery. After today things should settle into recovery.

Dad is being discharged today with a heart monitor for 30 days. All tests show no anomalies or disorders with his heart.

It’s been busy but good! Onward, toward the dawn!

Good morning groovy souls!

I've been up since 2, only slept about 4 hours. I woke up and just could not get back to bed.

I'm soon to travel. I've got most of my foundations out of the way and am about to run!

I'm hoping I can sleep on the plane ^_^

Onward, toward the wander! I am soon to be Richmond bound!

Run is done, meditation is done, shower is done.

I'm going to have to fly out tomorrow to get some down time.

Good morning groovy souls!

I slept pretty well. The new blanket rocks socks! I did not want to get off my mat this morning and just kind of luxuriated a bit in dozing and being very warm.

On the other side of being up I am really doing the dragging today! I'm pumping up my motivation to get on my run!

Richmond tomorrow! Let's do this!

Onward, toward the wander!

Vet visit complete! I’m a healthy beast.

.

4.5 miles ran and I'm pushing harder.

I'm in an amazing and deep coso discussion and its like coming home...

My internal taskmaster is urging me to run, meanwhile, I'm watching my notifications like...

"Yeah buddy, I'm gonna get right on that..."

Good morning groovy souls!

My brain decided to be feisty last night in regards to the schedule adjustment and I woke at 2330 pm, then tossed and turned a few hours before getting back to sleep.

Now, I am a groggy beast, but still on the bounce!

There is much to be done today and places to go, but there may be a nap worked in at the edges.

Onward, toward the wander!
Onward, toward the dawn!
