The Outdoor Journey: Latest post

Where in the Hell Have I Been?

What has happened to The Outdoor Journey? Has it been abandoned? Did I get run over by a truck? Or am I just standing on a stage, prattling on to an empty auditorium?

Tidbits

  • This is a great short video on what it takes to be an ultra runner. ULTRA RUNNER from Cedar Wright on Vimeo. #
  • One of my favorite bloggers appears to be hanging up his hat: Joseph Vinciquerra of The Daily Grind.  He'll still be around on Facebook and for those of you who are into that (including me), I would encourage you to hook up with Joseph there and continue to follow his exploits and learn from his experiences. #
  • I'm apparently in Twitter mode here with all of these short updates. I have several feature articles on tap and just haven't made the time to get them done.  I'm considering changing directions with The Outdoor Journey and will address that once summer arrives. In the meantime, here's a great quote from Hugh Jackman on his diet prep for Wolverine. Love the Aussie sense of humor: "“I think we’ve wiped out entire gene pools of chickens,” he said. “I know to any vegetarians out there, I really apologize. It’s just so much tofu you can eat.” #
  • From Steven Barnes: "The most powerful safe form of Meditation I know (not all safe meditations are effective, not all effective ones are safe) is called "Heartbeat Meditation." It is simplicity itself: you sit and feel your heartbeat in your body. The more you relax, the easier it is to feel. After you've mastered this, you can feel your heartbeat in your yoga, your Tai chi, walking down the street, going to sleep, or any other time. Powerful. Try it for a minimum of 15 minutes a day. It is a darned fine beginning to a personal practice." #
  • Craig Weller, one of our contributing authors from time to time, has a well-done post on his blog entitled "Simplicity." What starts out as a travelogue turns into a thought-provoking challenge that should make you scratch your head and give a little more thought to your life. Click here to read "Simplicity." #
