Some of my favorite things from January…
Moving:
Jess Richburg Yoga: Simple cues and routines with no added chit chat - on Youtube for free or get more on her app
Quick and easy post-run strength: These take less than 5 minutes and I do them once/week right after a run
Forcing myself to roll out more - I aim for just 1 minute of rolling before and after runs, and if I watch a show at night I try to roll for at least a few minutes during! (Currently watching Ozark Season 4 and just finished rewatching all of Stranger Things)
Eating:
Chicken enchilada soup - served with sour cream and cornbread
Beef bulgogi - serve with roasted veggies and rice
Ribollita Italian soup - add some extra spices like parsley, basil, and oregano, and make it with broth/stock instead of water if you can
Enjoying:
I read State of Wonder by Ann Patchett (I almost didn’t get past the middle and WOW am I so happy I kept going)
I’m half way through Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason and I’m LOVING it
Everything Erin Azar does online - like honest accounts of cooking healthy food and running
Listening to Vampire Weekend’s first album, because throwback!
The Pop Up Pod by Nicole Antoinette: I have long loved Nicole’s interview skills and she’s got a new podcast that will explore one question per season. This season asks, “Should I get married?” which really means she’s talking to guests about the role of all of life’s relationships - with others and with ourselves.
