15. went paddleboarding in the ocean again! 10. took a trip to mount rainier/tahoma.

12. we ended up having a fantastic girls' day at the lake, complete with paddleboarding, watercolor, and too many carbs. one point of reflection for myself is curating a guest list and events that support the nervous system, not stress it.

09. burn out has been creeping in over the last couple of months, so i'm planning a small event for some of my colleagues, and i'm also making more time to take care of myself. focusing on my community can be rejuvenating (and equal parts draining), and focusing on myself can also help restore me (but if i focus too much on myself, it ends up just being isolating).

08. instead of skating, i decided to go for a short jog tonight--just 1 mile.

07. i started strength training with a friend who moved to the neighborhood; we're integrating cardio and full-body workouts.

05. the weather is warming up. i skated a little over 3 miles and took the sup out on the water. it was a gorgeous day with bald eagles in the trees.

28. i was feeling so good that a 30-minute skate session turned into an hour+.

19. the extended weekend is full of possibility.

16. i borrowed a friend's inline skates because i've been thinking about buying my own. i haven't skated since i was probably an early teen and the experience gave me a better understanding of all of the adults i remember watching struggle on quad/inline/ice skates when i was younger! as a kid, i just put them on and went. as an adult, i am relearning my center of gravity.

14. i rediscovered one of my tamagotchi ons and decided to break my r2d2 giga pet out of its packaging. here's to my hyper-fixation for the next few weeks.

03. a friend made spicy doenjang-jjigae and the heat level is giving me an out of body experience.

23. stand up paddleboarding in the ocean for the first time! the water and wind were relatively calm, but the consistent motion absolutely gave my calves more of a workout than paddling on the lake.
