Day 48, July 15
Timer on…
Today began with walking the dogs, as usual…I wanted to jog, but…I still had that hamstring pain in my right leg…so…I didn’t…
I drove to NACL and we had our final training…which was bittersweet because it was the last day. We had a lot of fun; I struggled with some pain during the contact improvisation elements, but we had a lovely ending with the song we’ve been singing at the end. I (also) liked the moment in contact improvisation, when I worked with Yurika, a Japanese artist I’ve been working with this summer, and Brad mentioned that we should use one focal point and the other partner can use another to create a “strange offspring”. They were very strange…our “offsprings”.
After NACL, I went and hung out with my friends for a little while; they fed me lunch, which was great.
I went home and cleaned a bit and prepared dinner for Nick. When I was baking dinner, I took the dogs for a walk and went for a jog. It wasn’t easy, but I worked through the pain. I (then) did the wedding circuit training and the yoga series I discovered yesterday for hamstrings. The hamstring is not 100%, but it definitely feels a little better. Yeah for yoga…
During training today we do this part where we notice everything, and Brad asked us to try to focus on what we didn’t accomplish through the past four weeks of training, but I didn’t really have a goal for the training, nor do I think I didn’t accomplish something, but…I did focus on what I’ve been trying to focus on in my 68 Day journey, which is to have fun and to get my mind/body/soul ready…
The little gift that I noticed today was all the light trying to enter the theater space…I felt this was a fun metaphor for the end of the training: that even in darkness light tries to sneak in… Exercising is good in its results and I have been enjoying jogging as the wedding looms closer and closer and my anxiety gets larger and larger, but…there’s a darkness to working out…an unknown…and it isn’t always fun…but light is always trying to sneak in…songs that suddenly show up when you think about stopping that encourages you to continue…lyrics that show up in a song that you need to hear for your mind/soul journey…a deer next to a creek looking at you and not running away…having a moment with you…these little moments of light in a moment that could pull you into the darkness…those moments that you need…
Timer out…
