For the past couple weeks of have been working on my breathing while I run and while I sit in the sauna. What was my inspiration you ask? (I don't really think you were asking but I'm gonna tell you anyway)
2 weeks ago I had brought bottle of Bubbles to the Born To Run Ultra Marathon. It had been awhile since I last used the stuff. At first I tried a little too hard, which equaled zero bubbles and a re-dip which happened a few times. I was too excited for bubbles.(bubbles are pretty exciting) I needed to calm down.
"Relax your mind"
Eventually I would find my rhythm . Using a steady focused exhale bubbles began to fill the sky. When I run an Ultra I haves hours upon hours alone for my mind to drift. While running in the 50k I envisioned that I was blowing bubbles as I ran. I'm not sure if it helped me but it made me smile and I won the race.

Yesterday I ran on the beach with a new friend.
"Man This chick can breathe!"
(I find breathing Sexy)
lol
As she he demonstrated and explained her breathing technique's, I was really impressed. Just as I started explaining my new found methodology I found this wand.
"It all about a calm focussed exhale and letting the inhale come naturally. As you breathe envision the steady stream of apple sized bubbles gracefully floating away."
But the story doesn't end there.
A couple hours later I went back to the beach for another run.
And what did I find?
Were they referring bubbles? I totally get it now.
Sweet, now my hands don't have to get all soapy.
That afternoon after my second run of the day I sat on the beach blowing bubbles for almost an hour watching the dolphins swim by. The biggest kid on the beach definitely was me.
I wonder if anyone will mind if I bring my bubbles to the sauna, perhaps I should add a few drops of eucalyptus?

Life Is Good!
