Strong Body & Mind or Month-End Review, February

Started a new boxing session on Monday and had a new sparring partner -- Katie. At one point, Dawn told Katie -- Don't slap, hit. She's strong -- she can take it. The next day I went swimming and, as Chatty Kathleen and I paused at the end of the lane, she told me that I had "beaten" her by 20 feet. You're strong she said. I was a bit surprised to hear that Kathleen had been secretly racing me. Also a bit surprised that people can see proof of my strength.

Attaining upper body strength was such an important goal for me. What I didn't know was that I'd also acquire a stronger mind along the way. I have my moments but most days I feel incredibly grounded -- excepted when I climbing, of course. Speaking of being grounded, I had a very nice yoga practice this evening. I could have stayed in fetal position for an indefinite amount of time and, after singing om, I could have stayed there in the dark by candlelight in easy pose all night long.
