Thriving with Power Statements

In Japanese "wa" means harmony and is a huge part of Japan and Japanese culture.  After living in Japan for 4 years and recently visiting again I still soak in the "wa" and wish we could bring it more to the USA where I live now.  In today's life episode we'll discuss "wa" and dive into culture in general.  Having an openness to other cultures and taking the best from many of them has enriched my life and it can yours too.  Come...let's experience "wa" together.

Girls and women alike have a few extra things to consider when adding running into their lives.  Some of these issues were a little challenging to discuss and I surprised myself as I reflected on some of the intense issues with body changes from girls to women, managing the annoying but very important menstral cycle,  body image and taking care of our bodies, and let's not forget the gap between genders.  This one has a lot.  Buckle up!

"I don't have time".  I fear these words.  This is one of the biggest reasons given when someone doesn't have regular exercise habits.  To this I say...don't have time?  Make time!  The truth is, we all have the same 24 hours a day and our days either fill up with meaningless who knows what or we take control of our time and make things happen in our lives.  This choice is yours!  Let's learn together about how to make time for running, or anything else that may be important to you that you "don't have time" for.

Greetings from Japan!  I've been traveling the last couple of weeks and want to share with you a way I've found to make the most of vacations - running of course.  Running tourism is a great way to see the sights whether it be staycation mode or vacation mode.  Come learn all about one of the most enjoyable forms of running I've found, no not hills, speedwork, or even long runs.  You won't find this one on any of your workout plans, but you will find it to be a good way to open your eyes and see the beauty around you, wherever you are.(Photo: Sample of the many beautiful things I saw on my running tours in Japan this past week.)

S.A.D. is a really sad and appropriate acronym for Seasonal Affective Disorder.  S.A.D. has a lot in common with and can turn into depression, but it also has some distinct differences.  Hi, I'm Dawn, and I struggle with S.A.D.  Join me today as we learn more about this mental health issue, things that help, when to be concerned, and much more.  I'm excited to share with you my experience and continue to offer the thought that mental health, like physical health, is something that should be discussed openly and honestly, not secretively and shamefully.  So...let's talk.

Mindset, mindset, mindset.  I'm reminded again and again how important mindset is, both in running, and in everything we do.  Recording this episode I came off a pretty hard day and an equally hard week and just talking about having a better mindset put a spring in my step and helped me realize that yet again, "I've got this".  Today's mindset technique is called "Power Statements" something I discovered a couple years ago with my cross-country team . We're done surviving!  It's time to thrive!

Have you ever run a half-marathon?  I have...quite a few I realized as I was recording.  Some I hold with fond memories, others I've almost forgotten or would be better off having forgotten.  Any way about it, I love this distance.  Join me for half marathon story time, with a climax of what happened when I accompanied my young teenage son on his first half-marathon earlier this month.(Photo: 1/2 marathon with my son and the runner who shadowed us.)

Tapering.  That glorious and yet dreaded time when you get to cut the miles, clean up the loose ends, and prepare for race day...by not doing much.  It's a weird thing mentally.  Where in most things in life you cram at the end preparing for our most important races are just the opposite.  Come along and we discuss the critical role that tapering has in giving you the best possible experience on race day.

Welcome to season 2!  Once a month we'll have life topics.  The rest of the episodes are all about good old running.  Today join me on my journey through my hate (with occasional love) relationship with housework and the things I've learned over the years to make keeping a home manageable, realistic, and yes, sometimes, even enjoyable.  Don't forget to look into some of the great resources we'll discuss in this episode from folks who unlike me are experts in the field.
