Monday Intentions, Train Nourish and Breath......Lena Lake Sunday!
First, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for the Unbreakable Fitness Challenge!
What an incredible turnout and such a successful day.
We loved seeing everyone show up, challenge themselves, and support one another.
Watch for a follow-up email this week with more information, resources, and next steps from Unbreakable. We’re so grateful you were part of it!
What an amazing weekend.
Friday was a challenging mountain traverse and climb, followed by a Chambers Bay walk on Saturday, and then the Unbreakable Fitness Challenge—plus a run and a row!
My body definitely put in some work, and overall, I’m feeling pretty good.
Now we’re shifting into September and getting ready for more trail running and hiking. And this Sunday—here we go again—we’re heading to Lena Lake!
But first: recovery.
I took today off from boot camp. My body is sore, and after a big weekend, I knew another hard workout wasn’t what I needed. Instead, I started my morning with a long yoga nidra relaxation practice. It was perfect.
My movement plan this week: Monday — Rest + yoga nidra
Tuesday — Trail run on my way to Olympia
Wednesday — Boot camp + weights
Thursday — Bike ride
Friday — Boot camp
Saturday — Yoga
Sunday — Lena Lake hike
And fall is starting to show up in the kitchen!
My garden is still producing zucchini, tomatoes, and cucumbers like crazy. This week I’m planning an early harvest stew using vegetables from the garden and some things from the freezer. I may also make a big tray of ratatouille and freeze some for later.
There is something so satisfying about eating with the seasons, using what we have, and preparing nourishing food for the weeks ahead.
So, Hartsspace—what’s your plan this week?
What are you doing for movement?
What are you doing for recovery?
What are you eating and prepping?
Training isn’t only about pushing harder. Recovery, nourishment, sleep, mobility, and listening to our bodies are part of building strength too.
I can’t wait to see everyone at Lena Lake this Sunday!
Community, not competition.

We're in full harvest mode too! My latest seasonal food love is heirloom tomatoes, onions, garlic, fresh herbs, sheep feta salt and a litle red pepper flakes, all coated with a generous pour of olive oil and roasted until caramelized. Then blended into a nice thick pesto and poured over pasta and roasted chicken breast and topped with fresh basil and flat leaf parsley. Yum!!!
