Then join the #NPSF#earlygang#freefitnessworkout, and stay to watch the sky light up and the sun rise.

Made it #NPSF#doublegangagain last Wednesday. Sunrise is coming earlier and earlier, colors changing by the minute.
First photo was taken 4 minutes before sunrise, second photo 4 minutes after. Third photo just after starting #earlygang, city lights making the clouds & fog glow gray in the darkness.

🌆 Made it to the first #NPSF#earlygangof the year, did in-betweeners abs, and 6:30 workout with a brutal burnout that was really its own workout. But wow pretty sunrise. Plus 50+ deg F? I’ll take it. #100PDPD

Ninety minute #NPSF#earlygangthru regular workout before sunrise.

From cold moonlit darkness, with even darker eerie shadows, to a brightening clear orange horizon.

From barely moving to skipping up flights of stairs.

From barely motivated to just enough energy to make it through a long day.

Left before the last@Nov_Project_SFgroup photo to make it home in time to change and make it to@MozSFto host today’s@W3CABmeeting.

🌅 Monday morning with@Nov_Project_SF. #NPSF#sunrise#SanFrancisco#summer#nofilter

This is me. Two weeks ago, after #NPSF#earlygang, before the 6:30 workout. I had a lot on my mind.

Sometimes I take things too seriously. It was two days before I was to co-teach my first public Vinyasa yoga class as part of my last weekend of YTT, graduating that Sunday after co-teaching a second class. Yoga sequences and philosophical challenges occupied my thoughts nearly every waking minute. Still do.

I am imperfect. Grateful for the humility reminder, and optimism that I can do better in the future.

I am old(er). Old enough to be grateful for every day. Old enough to feel holes in my heart every day from the losses of too many younger friends. Old enough to fill those holes with memories of our shared times, and intentions to live and pass on their joy, happiness, energy, care, and positivity towards others.

I am strong(er). Strong enough to know the barriers inside are often bigger than the barriers outside.

I am grateful. For too much to list. Enough to remind myself in moments of craving or emptiness.

I am hopeful, for the potential of every moment, for the positive changes we can make inside, and by our actions, outside, while being present in every moment, appreciating what is.

I have a lot on my mind.

Running uphill is still the hardest for me to run, though with sustained effort and practice I am slowly getting better at it. I climbed over 2000' just two days ago, the combined total from double-PR Wednesday^1@Nov_Project_SFand evening run/hikes to finish out the Strava Mt. Everest Running Climbing Challenge for the month of May^2. Thanks to a restday yesterday and enough sleep last night, my legs felt fine (not sore) on the hills this morning.

I know that “proper” training for a marathon requires increasing distance, both in long runs, and total weekly miles. Since uphill is my weakpoint, I’m focusing my training on that, and especially on trails since they are more forgiving (thus more body sustainable) than running on the road. Rather than total miles, I’m focusing on time spent at high-effort running. That feels more right for my body, and if my PR Wednesday improvement over the past two months is any indication, the right thing for me to do too.

Now that I have Saturdays again, I will be running SFRC every Saturday morning that I’m in SF, doing my long runs on trails as well. I’ll eventually do at least one longish run (maybe 16-18 miles?) on road just to get used to doing so in the shoes I plan to wear for the race. Also planning to do at least a few track workouts to mix-in some speedwork.

For now I’m happy with the progress I’ve made, both in the past few months and the past few years running with@Nov_Project_SF., and for the increased body awareness from yoga teacher training^3 that has really helped me consciously keep track of how my body feels while running, and adjust breathing, posture, pace, stride, etc. accordingly.

As always, grateful to running/fitness/yoga friends, teachers, and communities (@Nov_Project@missioncliffs@YogaFlowSF) whose support has been essential to reinforcing regular sustainable physical practices.
