Yes!! It wasn’t as bad today but the burn is there lol
Day 4 done. I think I’m going to customize these to do more sets or something.
Although I disagree with Muggeridge’s basic tenets, some of his extensive writings do ring true - a broken clock tells the right time twice a day. Short bio - Muggeridge was a person of contradictions. He was an agnostic who converted to Christianity, a communist sympathizer who turned against the Communist political machine in Russia, a soldier and spy, a conservative critic of the 1960’s counterculture, and a person who would rather express a strongly worded and incorrect opinion than none at all. And he wrote a ton, as a journalist and as an author.
There is no such thing as darkness; only a failure to see.

I’m with you! I tried out my new trail running shoes on a path that I used to walk with my dog 20 years ago. It’s a disused maple sugar bush, and some logging and hunting is still done there. But there are lots of fallen trees and new growth sprouting up, and with the 2 1/2 inches of snow that came last night, it was hard to keep on the path.
The whole thing is a little over 1.5 miles, it goes up a granite hill that at one time eons ago was a small island in the ancient Sea of Champlain. Not far from here, a whale fossil was discovered, and we have found trilobytes on a nearby farm. I tried to instill in my kids respect for history, using the ancient island and the idea that our home was once at the bottom of the sea.
The shoes performed very well. Maybe in springtime I’ll ask the landowner if I can clear a running trail, just remove the deadfalls and mark it.
This life of man appears for a short space, but of what went before, or what is to follow, we are utterly ignorant.

Day 6 
. I did a set of the jumping lunges, and I count my yoga flow class for the rest. Shameless plug - I 
Burlington Yoga. I’ve been twice recently when I was the only student, and they knew I was the only student. And yet, they kept the class open for me and adapted to my needs.

Day 7 . You know, I just now noticed that the day, like 7 today, corresponds to the exercise in some form!

Day 9 Done earlier but forget to post
Day 8 and 9 done, nice little combo set.
More from Thomas Aquinas, and it kinda sounds like sobriety…
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.
This speaks to me of the concept of being ready for sobriety, or more pointedly, the ability to answer the question “Are you done yet?”. Someone who is ready will find sobriety all around them. Someone who is not ready will continually return to the addiction.
