Space fixes more things than we think.⠀
⠀
Space isn’t always dramatic.⠀
It’s just small changes like:⠀
⠀
saying no to an invite⠀
not texting as much⠀
keeping some things to yourself⠀
sitting with different people at lunch⠀
⠀
No big conversation.⠀
No announcement.⠀
⠀
Just quietly giving yourself a bit more room to breathe.⠀

How to be a yogi?⠀
Show up.⠀
Do your best.⠀
⠀
That’s it.⠀
⠀
Not the bendiest.⠀
Not the strongest.⠀
Not the calmest.⠀
⠀
Some days your best is strong and steady.⠀
Some days your best is simply rolling out your mat.⠀
⠀
Both count.⠀
⠀

She kept waiting for things to change.⠀
For people to act differently.⠀
For the timing to be better.⠀
⠀
Then she realised —⠀
the only remote she actually had⠀
was the one controlling her own actions.⠀
⠀
She couldn’t fast-forward the hard parts.⠀
She couldn’t mute other people’s opinions.⠀
⠀
But she could choose how she responded.⠀
She could choose what she tolerated.⠀
She could choose her next step.⠀

This week of running:⠀
⠀
Week 8 – Training for Ballarat Marathon 🏃‍♀️⠀
⠀
Monday night intervals with Byron at Absolute Edge Fitness: 6 x 800m.⠀
I hate this distance. I went out too hard trying to hang with the fast boys and completely gassed myself early. But I finished. That’s the point of these sessions — get uncomfortable, try new drills, push the edges a bit.⠀
⠀
Tuesday “rest” day (aka teaching 3 yoga classes).⠀
⠀
Wednesday: 60-minute recovery run on the treadmill because the wind was next level.⠀
⠀
Thursday: 2-hour long run. This one felt good. Pace was steady, relaxed, achievable.⠀
⠀
Friday: unexpected rest day. Volunteered at the kids’ school, submitted an assignment, then into the city to see Pulp with a friend. Full day - No time for a run.⠀
⠀
Saturday: 30-minute recovery run on the home treadmill. So humid. So sweaty. Followed by 15 minutes in the sauna.⠀
⠀
Sunday: 5 x 5-minute intervals after little athletics. Hot, humid, and approximately one million flying bugs glued to my sweaty skin. Gross. But the session went well.⠀
⠀
8 weeks to go 💪

You’re training. You’re learning. You’re getting stronger.⠀
⠀
That’s the whole point.⠀

Someone said to me recently, “It sounded normal in my head… but when I said it out loud, it felt awful.”⠀
⠀
Isn’t that the truth?⠀
⠀
We say things to ourselves we would never say to someone we love. We call ourselves lazy. Dramatic. Not good enough. Behind. Too much.⠀
⠀
But if a friend came to us with the same worries, we’d be gentle. We’d be patient. We’d remind them they’re doing their best.⠀
⠀
We all know the Golden Rule: treat others the way you want to be treated.⠀
⠀
Maybe it’s time to add to it:⠀
Treat yourself with the same love and respect you so freely give to everyone else.⠀
⠀
The voice in your head matters. Make it one you’d feel safe hearing out loud.⠀

There’s a story about a monk who carried water each day in two buckets.⠀
One bucket was perfect. The other had holes and leaked the whole way home.⠀
⠀
He never fixed it.⠀
⠀
When someone asked why, he pointed to the path.⠀
On one side: dry, barren ground.⠀
On the other: wildflowers in full bloom.⠀
⠀
“My imperfection has brought beauty to those around me.”⠀
⠀
It’s easy to obsess over what’s leaking.⠀
The job that didn’t work out.⠀
The relationship that ended.⠀
The plan that fell through.⠀
⠀
Helen Keller, who became deaf and blind as a toddler, wrote:⠀
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”⠀
⠀
You don’t have to pretend disappointment feels good.⠀
You don’t have to say, “I’m so grateful this happened.”⠀
⠀
Just try this:⠀
“This didn’t work out. There’s more for me out there.”⠀
⠀
That sentence shifts your focus forward.⠀
⠀
David Steindl-Rast says gratitude is less about saying thank you and more about trust — trusting that each moment holds some kind of opportunity.⠀
⠀
So when something doesn’t go your way, instead of spiralling, ask:⠀
What could this make possible?⠀
⠀
Sometimes the thing you think is holding you back is unexpectedly growing something better.⠀
⠀

Week 7 of training for the Ballarat Marathon 🏃🏼‍♀️⠀
⠀
Almost a 50km week and my legs are definitely feeling it.⠀
⠀
Monday night with Bryon from Absolute Edge Fitness was HOT.⠀
4 x 4 minute intervals at a comfortably hard pace with 1 minute recovery. Shorter session… still spicy.⠀
⠀
Tuesday: “Rest” day… except for teaching 3 yoga classes.⠀
⠀
Wednesday: 45 minute recovery run.⠀
⠀
Thursday: Planned 21km.⠀
It was meant to be the coolest day of the week but didn’t feel like it. A few wardrobe issues threw me off and, more than anything, it got in my head. I stopped at 19.5km. Close enough that it feels annoying — but sometimes that’s how it goes.⠀
⠀
Friday: Tempo session.⠀
2km warm up⠀
8km comfortably hard⠀
2km cool down⠀
⠀
Saturday Moana Parkrun with my daughter — my favourite kind of recovery run. It is nice to see so many people getting up so we can run, walk, jog together on a Saturday morning. ⠀
⠀
About 9 weeks to go.⠀
Not feeling ready yet — but I guess that’s normal at this point.
