Sometimes you need to be creative to fit in exercise

Today’s mental math looked like:

Kids art night > work extra curricular
Exercise > getting home quicker
Mental health boost of seeing ocean > running one mile shorter route

I don’t always get it right, and maybe it’s a bit unconventional at times but it’s life as a cancer adventurer! Exercise is part of my treatment plan, is it part of yours?

So. Much. Rain.
So. Much. Fun.

Exercising rain or shine (or snow) is one of my favorite ways to tell cancer to suck a cactus. Be safe out there!

From
“staying in the shade, especially during midday hours, is one of the best ways to limit your UV exposure from sunlight.
Protect your skin with clothing that covers your arms and legs.
Wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your head, face, and neck.
Wear sunglasses that block UV rays to protect your eyes and the skin around them.
Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to help protect skin that isn’t covered with clothing.”

What’s your go to sun protection strategy?

Whatever gets you moving! Find motivation wherever you can 🖤

I haven’t had a snowstorm run all winter and had an absolute blast out there. I also signed up for a race in May… so many reasons to move! What’s your reason?

Maybe go celebrate getting through hard things with a little walk in the sunshine now that daylight is getting longer 💕

Movement is a great way to thank yourself for being a total bad ass 🌵
