Since I have basically not been around any weekend for the past 2 months it’s time to play catch up.  I have Health Coaching work, Immersion, house cleaning, reading and a number of other things to do this weekend on top of the fact we (for some crazy reason) planned two concert outings for this weekend. So I’m taking the weekend off from blogging. I’ll be back Monday with a Weekend Wrap Up Post.

While I am gone Catch Up On my latest Posts:

• My 7 Links
• Sweaty Bands
• Old Port 5k
• Italian Almond Tart

Back on my 25th birthday I made a list of 25 things for my 25th year. Now there is only one month left to accomplish these goals and I still have a lot to do. I also noticed that I was pretty ambitious last year in setting goals to travel the world; this won’t happen again for next years 26 in 26.

We just ran our first 5k! Neil finished 5th in his age group at 28:49 and I finished 16th in my age group at 37:36. Wahoo!

After we packed up camp this morning Neil and I made our way up to Stratton for Wanderlust , unfortunately the rain from camping last night decided it wanted a second round and we ended up with a very wet day. This meant wet yoga classes for me and no hiking for Neil, oh well!

I took two classes today the first with Kia Miller and the second with Desiree Rumbaugh. The first classes was a Kundalini yoga class, the first I had ever taken. I really enjoyed it but boy was it tough at times! The second class I took was an Anusara workshop to help knees, hips and legs. This was a very interactive class and I loved it! I learned some great tips to help me get into postures better and how to relieve any pain in my lower body. Tomorrow I have an neck and shoulders worksop- getting the whole body done!

In addition to yoga classes Neil and I had food from the Krishna Cafe that was delicious, however no photo because I was starving!

I am at the opening ceremony now and then going to bed- I have an early class in the a.m.
