…so, i took it to them on for the first of three excruciatingly painful 2k Laps on a very soft course upon which i knew would deteriorate quickly so i hammered it FAST and HARD right out of the gate and was thankful that my shooting held up as i shot at the bottom of the exhale (Kumbhaka Paruna in yoga) during the first shooting stage…
my 18-minute Nutritional Dharma Talk with Dr. David Minkoff that could very possibly transform your life, and certainly – if you are an athlete – your sport performances…hang in there, the Highest Teachings are in the final few minutes… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqULDbbLKD8&feature=youtu.be&list=UUR6HYzxibSJujnjbtgRsETA&utm_source=BHFN+-+A+-+7%2F24%2F2014&utm_campaign=UA-709316-1&utm_medium=email
okay…so maybe it’s a mid-life crisis…
maybe ilg is just REALLY trying to express to my precious students that i am again willing to walk my talk about ‘challenging our weakness’s, not our strengths…
or maybe? i’ve just lost it, c(om)pletely!
whatever it is? ilg is going to Toe The Start Line of my most challenging event since my free-soloing rock climbing exploits in the early ’80’s; i’m going to SOLO the Pagosa Springs Winter Quadrathlon which means, yes, i’ve got to SWIM .5k!
see, the thing is? i don’t know how to swim.
pic; ilg winning the World’s Highest Nordic Biathlon, earlier this season near the top of the Continental Divide on Wolf Creek Pass, elevation around 10,300′. come join me this weekend for Winterfest very near this same, sacred place!
Conscious Parenting to me means getting out as often as possible and BEING with your Chi-ld(ren) because, well… the best things in life, aren’t “things” at all.. pic of Dewachen Ilg (6) crushing it at my Winter Warrior 10k snowshoe race last Saturday enroute to her 4th consecutive Kids Title…this pic and many more GREAT shots from […]
Note to readers,
it is Tradition within the Wholistic Fitness® Path to always recognize publicly the Noble Efforts of those who produce the altars upon whose terrain we spill our sweat…this is an actual excerpt i recently wrote to the Rio Grande Sun, a small newspaper covering the remote northern New Mexico area wherein many secret, sacred spaces vibrate…
As i drilled the descent through the Stadium for Lap Two, Clay had 20 seconds on me…by the end? Well, i ‘thought i had time,” to make up the snow-covered real estate on Lap 2 to bridge up to him and challenge him for a sprint finish yet that turned out to be fantasy against such a veteran champion like Clay.
Same thing in spiritual training; we THINK we have more years ahead of us to meditate, to begin to formulate and fortify the filaments of consciousness which propel us into our next incarnation ‘when we have more time,” yet? that is a fallacy. there is no more time coming…we could each die tomorrow and the volume and intensity of our Meditation Efforts accumulated into the one mOMent of our passing into The Next is precisely what sets the astral stage for our Bardo Race toward Enlightenment….
you ready?
set?
to Go?!??!
