I had a JAM packed weekend. It started with a 10 mile run, which was GLORIOUS. Took the kiddos to see Jurassic World. Did some product testing for Instagram. (Have I mentioned how much I love doing that?) Cooked, cleaned, got ahead on some work. Played nurse to my little man who had a nasty fall. Don't worry, he's OK, but I about had a heart attack when I saw it 😱 Raising boys is HARD. Now that the first official week of summer is in the books, I'm calling it a win. Tell me friends, how was your weekend? 🏃🏻 🏃🏻 🏃🏻 🏃🏻 🏃🏻 #chicago #windowshopping #windycity #chicagoviews #coldrunning #running #run #seenonmyrun #runningismylife #runmehappy #mileschangeyou #fitfam #infinitejoggers #earthrunners #movenourishbelieve #activeliving #endurestrong #staystrong #radgirlslife #runselfie #werunsocial
I took two classes last week and I haven't had a moment to tell you about them. One was Chant: Sacred Sound Practice and the other was Sound Healing. I meditate every morning, but I've never done anything like these. . Chant is creating harmony of meditation through sacred song and chants. I really enjoyed it. We were in a room with high ceilings and the sound vibrated all around. Our guide started the chants and we repeated them. It was a bit like group meditation BUT I found I was able to completely clear my mind. I often struggle with wandering thoughts in my daily meditation practice. . Sound Healing was WAY out of the box for me. There were at least 30 people in the group. We all laid on the floor with pillows and blankets. It looked like adult nap time😂 The guide played Italian Sound Bowls. I believe she said each frequency was tuned to effect a different chakra. I'm out in the deep end on this but each bowl has a different sound. The end result of the 45 minute session is to produce a deep state of relaxation. I can confirm, I hit that! I'm curious, what kind of spiritual practice have you tried? . . . . #soundbowl #soundbowlhealing #solarplexus #solarplexuschakra #yogagirl #yogi#yogamom #fitmom #fitgirl #fitstagram #fitspo #fitspiration #workoutmotivation #fitnessmotivation #yogamotivation #mantra #chanting #rancholapuerta #savortheranch @rancholapuerta
THE BEST thing about kids being out of school IS ... I get to run in the mornings again!!! I can not tell you how good it felt to get my run in first thing.

One kiddo out of school, one to go! We'll be spending a lot of time at the pool this summer because it is HOT! Which means morning and evening work for me. How do you work and play during the summer? 💧 💧 💧 💧 #summerbreak #poolside #summerstyle #summerinspo #summerinspiration #beachbum #summertime #tropicalvibes #tropicallife #vacationmode #vacationvibes #placestovisit #travelinspiration #rancholapuerta @rancholapuerta

My feet may be back on the city streets of Chicago, BUT my heart is still @rancholapuerta!

You guys, my stay @rancholapuerta is coming to an end. I've enjoyed...no SAVORED every moment. I've tried new things. I've learned new techniques. I've looked at life from a different angle. Running up mountains and over obstacles is new territory for this urban runner and I'm SO thankful I got to experience it. I'll be telling you about my chanting class and the sound bowl class OH, and the aerial yoga class in the coming days. For now, say yes to new things when you get the opportunity. It's what life is all about, don't you think? 🏃 🏃 🏃 🏃 #runtheranch #ranchrunning #rancholapuerta #savortheranch #upsidedown #inverted #inversionlove #headstand #strongwomen #poweryoga #sirasasana #onzie @onzie
I did it! I stepped out of my comfort zone again. I've NEVER done an obstacle course. I've never even seen one. @rancholapuerta has a 5 mile course and it is REALLY fun! Talk about using muscles I didn't even know I had. Yes, I'm sore. BUT it's that good sore that you want with a good work out. I have to know, have you done an obstacle course? 🏃 🏃 🏃 🏃 #runtheranch #ranchrunning #rancholapuerta #savortheranch #OCR #ObstacleRacing #ObstacleCourseRacing #NoExcuses #PushHarder #FitnessMotivation #GetStrong #InstaFit #ObstacleCourse #OCRtraining #sponsored
