Welp, it was nice while it lasted. The whole ‘arctic vortex’ came and went. We had a glorious few days of record low temps in North Texas…and I took full advantage. I ran every day of it. Here’s what my week looked like:
Sun – trail run + yoga. Tues – run + weights. Wed – track work. Thurs – run + weights. Fri – run. Sat – run + yard workout. Sun – run + yoga.
Oh, and guess what?!?! In Sunday’s yoga I learned more about the whole ‘anus clenching‘ thing. It’s called ‘Mula Bandha‘. I won’t get into the details today, but it’s supposed to have many benefits. I guess it’s a big deal. Who knew? That’s the thing about yoga, you’re always learning.
Anyway, after yoga, we we knew the cool weather was going buh-bye, so we squeezed in one last outdoor fun time – patio brunch!

She loved the black bean dip so much she decided to save some for later on her face and clothes and hair.
Of course the autumn-y weather is gone now and we’re back to 90% humidity and near triple digits temps. Return of the sweatfest! I’m not complaining though – last week’s break was such a nice surprise!
How bout you? Been working on your mula bandha? Who else loves patio brunches? Anyone else get to enjoy a weather break?
