My morning started at 5am and in the pool at 6am for 2000 meter swim. I love to swim. I did not think that anything could be as relaxing and restful as my long runs but swimming is just that for me. I am convinced that I was a mermaid in my other life. I am not fast by any means but you don't need to be to complete the 4km swim required for an Ironman. It is one arm in front of the other and relax........I have only been in the pool a handful of times in the last 3 years but it is like riding a bike...no problem. I am feeling good and feeling strong in everyway.
I decided to make a pot of vegetarian chili that turned out delicious, and will be even better tomorrow when all of the vegetables and spices take hold. I then remembered reading a recipe for quinoa blueberry muffins in my latest yoga journal and thought ummmm I should whip some of those up to. I am known for getting a little out of control in the kitchen. This recipe is a keeper. They turned out so good! I am going to have to get some help on loading pictures and I will post recipe with what they look like.
My mantra today is from my yoga instructor Mugs: I am a spirit expressing myself through human form, how do I wish to express myself today? I think it is helpful to have a mantra daily something to ponder when your world seems out of control.
