Off to the library tonight.
Totally stocked up on tea this weekend. Went to a food trade show this weekend with a friend that is a Chef and got all kinds of free samples. Great stuff! Think I have enough to last me a month or so.
I love this time of year. The days are getting longer. Spring starts tomorrow. Love it!

Chi Running is by Danny Dreyer and Katherine Dreyer. They also have a book chi walking, and I believe there is a chi running dvd.
they also have a website chirunning.com
It's pretty good-
it's the sort of stuff that takes a long time to really process and to integrate into running....like tai chi harder than it seems
I had forgotten how cool tai chi is before picking up this book, i did some in college like 10 years ago, and it was like just seeing the tip of the iceberg and knowing there is a whole lot more beneath the surface.
I'm trying to work on this idea of effortlessness now.
it's been very helpful cause ive realized I have all this baggaga about running where I think it is by definition traumatic, maybe like banging your head against a wall....but it doesn't have to be like that at all.
anyway...long comment!
so yes! I recomend it!

Awesome! Thank you. I will definitely be reading this one. I have never done Tai Chi but in Hapkido we use Tan Jun Breathing to develop Ki. Ki is the same as Chi, just Korean as opposed to Chinese. I am going to start running again in the near future so this books sounds perfect. Can't wait to read it.
People are responsible for the choices they make no matter how they feel when they make those choices. I can't stand it when people don't take responsibility for their own actions.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!!
Time to eat some corned beef, cabbage and black eyed peas while watching Boondock Saints.

I have decided it is time to stop being lazy. This year I want to get back into shape and start training again.
I have determined that it is one thing to take an occasional day or two, do nothing and eat whatever I want. It is another thing all together to let that turn into a lifestyle, because nothing good comes of it. I...
