Let's get Running!
I have been into yoga, qi gong, hiking for the last decade. My roots began in sports - AYSO soccer began at age 7 and continued through high school. High School cross country running to prepare for Track and Field, Soccer in the winter. In college I played one year of soccer before getting a knee injury and then I moved to the less dangerous sport of Rugby! I never got injured with Rugby because I just ran fast and tackled before getting tackled! But after being a physical fitness instructor in the the Israeli army - I got burned out of physical fitness - seriously burned out. I turned to yoga, qi gong, and hiking. I love the mind, body, connection of the latter disciplines. I love connecting to nature with hiking.
Now that I have girls and I have gotten enough "Education" on what's going on in school, media and basically the phenomena of 8 year old girls who are like the 8th graders of yester year. Seriously folks - it can be pretty scary if you choose that route. The sexualization of the media and our youth is heady stuff.
Instead - I look into the light and see communication and discussion and sports as the way! That being said, My 7yr old's 2nd year of soccer begins in September. And after being inspired by my triathalon mom-friend, Pam, I have decided to begin training with my oldest daughter for a 5K! I will let you know how that goes. First she has to return from Israel! Have a great end of summer!
