You look down at your watch and it's only mile two of a long run. Your calf feels a little twingy (did you not stretch, *again*?!). You're tired and out of breath, *already*.. Worse, you're bored and want it to be over. Mm breakfast burrito. But here you are, miles to go and it's your mind that is racing. What do you do?
We run, and some of us run a lot. But we also get bored, frustrated, and doubtful. This class will help you cultivate mindfulness and reconnect you with the beauty of joy of running.
It will include community sharing, a brief mindfulness meditation, and an opportunity to experiment with mindful running. We will practice *actually* paying attention to our bodies, bringing mindfulness to the sometimes unhelpful stories we tell (“Ugh” “I can't do this...”), and considering more helpful stories about gratitude and joy. Running is supposed to be fun, right?
No experience with meditation or mindfulness required.
This class is offered freely and your presence is the most important contribution.
