i’ll take a Padma On Ice, please…
yup, this is our Precious Dr. Julie “Padma” Mueller, a WF Online Master Student, going after yet
another Ph.D…this time, in WF…
why we Warriors do the things we do…it ain’t about podiums, or ribbons, or course records…it’s about the memories etched into our Souls from the Sacred Sweat we spill after we do what it takes to Toe The Start Lines…
This is why feeble ilg calls Wholistic Fitness™ the true practice of peace, the true practice of nonaggression and nonviolence, and the real and greatest disarmament toward that which hinders us from Enlightenment in the Bardo; our egoic attachment. Tis better to cultivate an Endless Beginner’s status and keep working our weaknesses instead of becoming famous and applauded in our specific and Divinely-granted strengths…Contemplate these words until we meet again, Noble Warriors toward Wholeness….be free and roar toward Enlightenment…
“Before I knew I had to run..I had several excuses lined up: “its tax season, I should just work”; “It snowing hard out right now” etc. Then a voice somewhere inside (maybe Tsidool deities?) said “get off your butt and get out there”! So I went! Man am I glad I did!”

How a WF Master Student ‘actively recovers’ from chopping 36+ minutes off her time in a 75-kilometer winter quadrathlon; Padma crankin’ some sweet 3+ Waterfall Ice in Utah the other day…
HP Yogi Brad “bRad” Tafoya on his first Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathlon solo attempt; summit-baggin’ Heartbreak Hill and approaching Transition #3; the Snowshoe to the top
must say…pensiveness runs rampant like the Tsangpo through my cells tonight…after 8 consecutive years and at least as many as double that over my lifetime, ilg is leaving my Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathlon Pilgrimage to the capable spirits of Julie “Padma” Mueller (2nd consecutive Mt. Taylor) and Tsidool rookie yet willing Warrior; Brad “bRad” Tafoya…
get on out to beautiful D-town, and share the Sacred Sweat of my own snowshoe race with me, how ’bouts!?

You have access to thousands of posts going all the way back to 2002. The Archives makes for ideal Svadhyaya, and if you don’t know what that important term means ... all the more reason to dive into these amazing WF Scriptural Recordings!
Checking out one or two archived teachings every day or so is an AMAZINGLY EFFECTIVE way to stay connected with your Tribe AND maintain consistency and motivation in what matters most: your own practice.
