Hey guys! Another busy week is just about complete, but luckily it hasn't been so busy that I haven't gotten to enjoy some time outside. The flowers are blooming, and the sun has been shining more often than not! We even have some cute little baby birds that have hatched in the nest outside of the garage. Always so many fun things going on this time of year.
I made it down to the trail after class today for an afternoon run in the sun. After taking Tuesday off to go to the chiropractor it was time to get back to my half marathon training today. Since it was pretty toasty (almost 80 degrees Fahrenheit!), I kept it to an easy 6 miles. I have 9 on tap for a long run this week, but I decided to wait until the weekend when I can get out earlier. My run almost got cut short after getting the 💩 scared out of me by a snake on the side of the trail. I really don't like snakes, haha.
At least I had another delicious smoothie waiting for me at the end! I've been putting lots of yummy fresh herbs like mint and lemon balm from the garden in my smoothies to add nutrition and use up the massive amounts we have growing. I'm actually really excited to learn some more ways to use them as I'm studying a bit more about herbal medicine for continuing education credits for my nutrition certification.
Always great to continue to learn new things! I love reading all of the natural medicine posts on here, so it will be nice to explore that arena more on my own. 😀
Hope everyone has a great weekend coming up! Wishing you some nice weather to get out and enjoy your own natural environment!
