Notes:
- SMWI* = Saturday morning workout inspiration.
- For more background on Totoro and the Japanese animation film, connect here and here. “Totoro is a giant, friendly forest spirit. He spends most of his time sleeping in a hole in a tree. He doesn’t speak, instead communicating by loud bellows.” (My family would concur with this description of me excluding friendly spirit part.)

I’m guessing the “loud bellows” part is what your family agrees with (?)

Hmmmm. Close. Yes + Sleeping in the tree and he doesn’t speak (introversion) would also come frothing out from them. 🙂

This does not bode well as we head into a holiday week of eggnog, stuffing and Buche de Noel (although a part of me is jumping up and down and clapping my hands with glee as I imagine your next running post.) This is gonna be epic….😃

That’s an extremely accurate clip for the weather in Oregon as monsoon season is upon us. I was so desparate to move around a little, I jogged inside my 1200 sq ft house today. Yes, feeling large! A little rain is one thing…
