In time on time...

I thought tonight, was as good a time as any to write my first post for my blog.
I seem to write my entries in my head whilst running and then by the time I've gotten back to my desk the inspirational words that I was telling myself seem to escape me.  Its very likely the difference between being in alpha state (right brain) whilst running in the pack compared to back at my desk and going into immediate left brain.

I've just finished making some 'recovery balls' for running. A recipe that I've concocted and will experiment with on myself and friends. The recipe I'll post at the end or under a gadget when I work out how to edit this blog and layout as I am a really a 'virgin blogger'.

I started running with the pack of dogs I normally walk about four months ago. I was in desperate need to up my tempo in terms of exercise and my time spent with wonderful beings seemed to be my most obvious choice. I am not a fan of the gym, however lycra has become a friend of mine over the past months.

Besides the running I've had to take a good look at what I'm eating and although mostly vegetarian I do make choices that aren't conducive to my optimum health. I seem to start off really well with my recovery smoothie, soup or raw stuff during the day and then when my partner asks should we get a take away curry or similar or go for a meal, it all goes horribly wrong.  The result being, the next day I feel tired, extremely thirsty, a little irritable and just not powered up.

I plan for this blog, if anything else, to be a journey to self document my healing and training so that I can look back down the road to see where I went wrong, but most of all to see where I went right and those are the moments I would truly like to share.

I have experimented with diet in terms of cleanses, fasts and 100% raw and plan to do much more of it and share the highs and lows of these rewarding experiences. Perhaps amongst my waffles you will find a source of inspiration. Who knows!

My recipe for my well-being at the moment is running in the pack, morning smoothies, eating organic and raw otherwise cooking from fresh, but keeping it simple and alkaline. Keeping stress to a minimum and my new found love of zumba dancing. woo! hoo!

Will keep you posted...
