After I posted about my music-loving ways, I got a great comment from Shane that I just have to share!
He wrote, “When I ran my first Half last month instead of asking people to donate for a charity. I asked friends and family to give me a song that inspires or motivates them. I ended up with a very interesting list! What I liked though was thinking of each person as I listened to the track they had submitted. That really helped me!”
I love it! I never use my iPod outside and haven’t used it during any races, but I did dedicate marathon miles to my loved ones. I can only imagine that listening to their song selections when you’re really digging deep would be a great motivator! It was a tip I had to share. Thanks, Shane!
Onward…
As a teacher, I have never gotten out of school mode. I still hear the familiar late bell, say the Pledge of Allegiance, and go out for recess.
Oh yeah…and yoga! Didn’t your teachers practice yoga after lunch? Maybe you didn’t enjoy a daily vinyasa, but I bet you looked forward to that afternoon snack! I still do. As soon as I get home, I make a cup of tea and eat a snack. It’s almost always something sweet – yogurt ‘n granola, toast ‘n jam, apples ‘ peanut butter – but not today. Today I had the best snack ever.
It wasn’t the least bit sweet. Savory all the way! I topped a slice of whole wheat with homemade marinara and some pepper jack cheese. I broiled that up until it was bubbling with cheesy goodness.
It was a play on my favorite food in the whole wide world – PIZZA! Of course, I loved it. I was pleased as punch as I sat down to read blogs this afternoon. This one’s a keeper.
Off to yoga! Have a great night!
Are you a snacker? I totally am! I love snacking.
What are your favorite snacks? Lately, I’m loving the sweet ‘n salty combos. Trail mix with salty nuts and sweet dried fruits are on my hot list.
