In my efforts to get ready for this weekend’s Cascade Lakes Relay Race that I was cordially invited to, I was going through my reminders app and realized hot yoga was something I haven’t been doing lately, and that it’d be perfect to combine meditation, sauna, and stretching/strength training in one, a few days beforehand.

I must give a shoutout to the Bonfire Hot Yoga studio in Beaverton. Very down-to-earth, non-pretentious, vibes as contrasted with many specialty fitness studios and gyms. I have a 20 class punch card that expires in November, so I figured it was an economical way to compliment my outdoor running, bicycling, hiking, and skiing. Signing up for classes online is easy as well. I’m so lazy about stretching that it was a good call, and very spur-of-the-moment too.

Now resting up physically for the weekend, and trying to get good sleep scores each night this week. Sleepytime tea, melatonin gummies, and winding down early.
