Gravel race #2 is in the books. The day was perfect and the course was a mix of gravel, sand, water , paved roads and did I say sand…

Those Friday feels… let’s get it 🤙🏽.

Smile as you grind…

A fun day of Fartleks fueled by @genucan

Consistency is key.

Developing the ability to arm balance has been a frustratingly slow struggle for at least two years. Now, the progress is accelerating…only because I never stopped putting in the work.

I didn’t race, but I was all up in their faces … cheering, encouraging, yelling, supporting 📣. @team_varlo #furthertogether

#trifam is ready to send it tomorrow.

Just as in everyday life, when our mind and body are aligned with intention, we go further. I spent this morning’s sunrise bendy-stretchy 🧘🏽 practice being very focused on my alignment. The intention was to feel full body engagement and awareness while moving into an elbow stand (pincha mayurasna).

Oof, I haven’t been very diligent about rest and recovery so today’s triple session nearly took me out. I definitely didn’t make the most of them, but I got ‘em done. Sometime you just have to do it tired 💪🏽.
