Running

I can't believe myself, but I went running/jogging last night.  This is huge so I acknowledge myself for putting my judgments aside about running and just doing it.  It was mostly walk/run, run/walk.  I'm starting off slow.  My left knee started to tweek a little, and then later on before bed, it was my right hip near the groin area.  I know it's my body responding to the running, but I'm still taking it slow and watching the sensations.

I woke up SOOOO refreshed! It was the best feeling ever.  I felt clear, energized, and ready for the day.  I can't remember the last time I felt this way.  I got up earlier than usual, so I meditated, did yoga and then made myself a fruit smoothie!

Backing up a bit, after my walk/run, run/walk, I was walking back to my apt, when I felt this wonderful, inspiration to do something challenging. I declared that I will run in Bay to Breakers in May! It's a 12K run, but a very non-competitive, laid back, fun run.  It started in 1906 after the big earthquake hit SF, and this event started as a way to bring more high spirits to the city after all the devastation from the quake.  Thousands of people now are running or walking it. It starts at the Bay (Embarcadero area) and ends at the Breakers (Ocean Beach).  There's lot of celebration in the air during this event, and I want to be apart of it. 

Even if I don't run the whole way, I'm going to finish!  My husband is going to join me and whoever else.  Some people dress in costumes, or nothing.  That's San Francisco!  It's like Halloween in the Spring! Wish me Happy Training!

Public Butoh Happening!

I'm am so excited to be dancing with two women, whom I started butoh with back in 2002!  This Thursday, August 19 @ 7:00 p.m-ish Civic Center, San Francisco, the happening will be under the enormous Three Heads Six Arms Sculpture.

Come to witness and experience this beautifully, haunting form of movement.

Yerba Buena Park in San Francisco, CA

Today on my lunch break I took a stroll down 4th Street to Yerba Buena Park.  This picture only shows a bit of it.  To the right is a soothing water fall; to the left is The Metreon (shops, movie theater, etc.) and ahead is downtown/financial district.  It's about 75 degrees, which is NICE for San Francisco. No fog or crazy wind.  It's called the "June Gloom" this month because it's usually foggy and windy.  But YIPPEE bring on the sun and warm temperatures! 

So here's a photo of my feet, viewing the water fall.  It's a moment I just want to freeze.  Although, the sounds around me were of people chatting, cars, sirens, and other city noise, I focused my attention on the waterfall and my breath.  Even the occasional breeze would happen and I would let my entire body bask in it, as well as the sun, of course.  One of things I love about San Francisco is that you can always find a park in the city. You can find some grass and trees, and just park yourself there for 5 minutes or 5 hours.  Bring some food, beverage, a book, friends or just yourself. It's a great way to take a break and relax.
