Trail Bliss to You

I’m super psyched to be supporting a few more trail experiences for you this year and I wanted to share!

Trail Races: Dirt Inspires Womens Trail Half Marathon is back on August 28th for its 3rd year running. With so many of you sharing your incredible experiences at this event we decided to expand the trail love a bit and offer another event – Dirt Inspires Womens Trail 4 & 8 Milers on May 22. This shorter event is designed as a lead in to the Half in August and will be staged in the stunning Big Basin State Park. For info on these events and more check out our site www.ditrailruns.com. Get Dirty and Get Inspired!

Trail Retreat: For quite a while I’ve conceptualized another weekend of trail nirvana—and it has finally come to fruition. Mindful Running: Trail Running, Meditation and Yoga Retreat is set for our lovely fall time and in a perfect location. This retreat will start Friday, 4:00 PM, September 16 and run through Sunday, 2:00 PM September 18, at Land of Medicine Buddha in Soquel, CA.

This is an opportunity to launch your running with a unique retreat experience in the ultimate peaceful setting. Stay at the retreat site for a complete experience!

We’ll combine mindful and guided meditation practices and yoga, and bring those practices to into our running, on some of the most pristine trails in Northern California. This retreat is designed to send your running (and your mind!) to the next level.

Though this retreat will take place at a Buddhist retreat center, this is NOT a Buddhist retreat. The location was chosen for its relaxing meditation and yoga spaces and remote running trails on a stunning property nestled in the coastal redwoods of Northern California—the perfect venue to create exciting breakthroughs in your running state-of-mind.

Expedition Bhutan: If you haven’t already check out our site for Expedition Bhutan – www.expeditionbhutan.com and join us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/expeditionbhutan – I’ll be offering regular updates on our planning process.

Thanks to all of you for sending well wishes after Gryphon’s passing. Your intensions have been hugely appreciated. Gryphon still hangs with me in the woods as I’ve been leaving his toys and ashes along the trail. Don’t be surprised if you catch a glimpse of him out there

Best,

Terri
