Shew.

It's been a while since I've written a blog post. I've had a lot of things going on in the last couple of weeks including finding out my job was being eliminated and successfully acquiring a new one! I start Monday =D

But in more fun news - I had the pleasure of participating in a yoga triathlon in Nashville, TN. I know, you didn't even know I was that athletic, huh? Well, I'm still not. This was a Wanderlust 108 triathlon, which consists of a 5k run/walk, 90 minutes of yoga, and a 30 minute meditation.

Sunday morning the hubby and I woke up in our hotel which was about 20 minutes from Bicentennial Park in downtown Nashville. The time change on November 1 kind of messed with us, so we were up at around 7 am. After a McDonald's Egg White Delight McMuffin, hash brown, and coffee (I know, just what you would expect someone to eat before running 3 miles...) we were off with running shoes and yoga mat in tow.

We arrived at the park around 9:30 and the run/walk was set for a little after 10. A small marketplace was set up with vendors selling yoga apparel, coffee and chai, and jewelry. There was also slack lining, acroyoga, tribal painting, and a huge pink trampoline available for before or after the events. I took advantage of the trampoline before hand!

The 5k started around 10 after 10, and the run, yoga, and meditation lasted until around 1:30 in the afternoon. The weather throughout the entire day was less than ideal, but we definitely made the most of it. And, the rain actually held off the whole time! Must've been good karma ;)

Being around that many yogis in that kind of environment has become one of my absolute favorite things. Every time I attend, I feel so rejuvenated afterward, like I found myself once again among all the good energy and smiles all while doing something I love. The yoga community is one that I am so lucky to have found and blessed to be a part of. It's just good for the soul, ya know?

I would HIGHLY recommend a Wanderlust 108 to anyone who just likes being around happy people, having a good time, and doing something great for themselves. Check out my photos from the event on my Instagram which is linked in the icon at the bottom right of the page!

Until next time... Namaste.
