Hi ,
 It's October! This month has had an amazing beginning for me, for as I told you in last week's FitDream Ezine, the first few days of the month were enjoyed on the northern Oregon coast in reunion with my two dear sisters. It's been months and there was a LOT on which to catch up.
If you popped into my blog over the weekend, you saw how I took you right along with me. Hiking, eating (of course!), and the thrill of running on an endless beach whenever the heart desired were all over the agenda. We even had occasion to be involved in a rescue mission! You'll read all about that, and the lessons we can take from the plight of stranded wildlife, in today's Feature Article. Links to "Burst Training Beach Style" follow in the Spotlight.
Now back at home in the beloved mountains and woods, we are (sadly) coming to a close of the Fall Woman's Fitness BluePrint Action Plan for Success session. Yet with endings come new beginnings. These women have inspired me.
Here's hoping your Fall is off to just as good a start.
Hearts, hugs, and starts,
P. S. You know you can count on me to keep cooking up opportunities
to keep you fit and inspired. Check out Booty Camp plans by clicking here for Events and get back to me!
P.P.S. Have you checked out the fitness news flashes on the Better Bodies 4 Busy Women Fan page? Just posted from Reuter's: "Work/rest intervals ratchet up workouts" Interval (burst) training for burns twice the calories in half the time. But then you knew that from your Fitness Breakthrough Kit, didn't you? Click HERE to pop into the health and fitness news on my BB4BW Fan page. Be sure to click the "Like" button to gain access.
"My Run Turned Into A Rescue Mission"
Four lessons to learn from bird rescue
by Lani Muelrath, M.A.
 Irresistible,
Bursts on the beach (see Burst
Training Beach Style) . Running barefoot in the sand as hard as I
can (photo left), then trolling my toes in the surf until I get my wind for another.
But today's run
took a surprising turn when I encountered a fledgling murre - an ocean
diving bird - stranded in the surf. A gathering of gulls caught my
eye, and a closer look revealed a smaller bird floundering low in the
water. As I approached, the gulls scattered, but not so the little
murre, by now feathers soaked and floppy.
Having had the privilege of handling
many birds in my time, I reached down quickly to cradle this little guy
to bring him up to the beach for a closer look.
Feet looked fine. Wings wet to the
bone but nothing broken.
I stayed by baby murre
until my sisters were close by, then jogged from the beach to a nearby
hotel while they stood guard. With humans and their canine companions
strolling the beach in regular intervals, this helpless bird was not
long for this world without intervention and guardianship.
Long short? Resort
looked up number for Bird and Wildlife Rescue. Hotel found a small box
for me in which to house our little friend while Bird and Wildlife
hustled on out to pick him up. Everyone was absolutely wonderful, eager
helping hands everywhere.
Four Lessons To Learn From Wildlife
Rescue
The plight of this little bird draws
a parallel to our experiences with growth and change, aspiring to our
goals, like this fledgling bird aspiring to hunt and fly. Here's the
second story the murre told today.
1) Avoid
the temptation to jump back into your comfort zone.
When you step up to claim "better!" for yourself, turning back to doing things as you are
used to doing them will abort the change process. The baby murre instinctively turned back toward the surf
because that was all he knew, even though he was soaked and skinny and
to flop toward the sea would have spelled inevitable doom. We can be
quick to back peddle on new challenges because of physical and
psychological discomfort. But they are part of the liberation process,
just as they were for this fragile bird.
2) Welcome assistance and don't be afraid to ask for help
when you need it. Without the intervention of a human (that's my sister Pam and I in the photo above, part of the rescue team),
whether myself or someone else who may have come down the beach after
me, this bird would have continued to flounder and would eventually have
been taken by the water or a predator. Sometimes we are so insistent
on doing things ourselves that we don't get anywhere. Too proud to
accept a helping hand? When it comes to big goals and endeavors, and
you're learning to fly, someone who has been there and successfully
traveled the leg of the journey before you can save you a lot of
missteps, false starts and grief by coaching you through the process.
3) Get support. It took a team to make the
rescue happen for our murre friend. First, initial rescue from the
surf. Guardians to stand watch while I ran for help. The call to and
arrival of help from Wildlife Rescue. Sometimes you don't have the
best results when you go it alone. Support with a team, group, and
like-mindeds when it comes to fitness or any other important endeavor
can make the difference.
4) Embrace the plateau. Progress and success
come in uneven spurts. We may give up when just on the cusp of a win.
I spoke with Wildlife Rescue later today, to check in on baby
murre. They said he was thin and being fed, was wet and is now warm and
dry. He may be ready for release before long, but if the winter storms
come in soon they will keep him in sanctuary through the winter,
training him to feed and buiding up his strength and skills for the
warmer weather of spring. In other words, time for the practice,
practice, practice that is part of mastery. On the one hand, this may
seem like stalled progress. On the other hand, a time necessary for the
best test of one's skills , when strength and mastery have been
cultivated. A kind of plateau. We can learn from this.
"You're My Hero!"
Solene Hyordey, Nottingham, UK
 " Hi Lani, I
absolutely love every part of the Fitness
Breakthrough Kit!
I love the twist on Fit Quickie #1, I can now use both version whenever
and wherever. I'm a big fan of audio as I absolutely hate commutingand
they're great to take with me on my way to work. The science file was
really helpful too..
The followup emails were a great help. Sometimes I get completely
sidetracked during the week with work and other things and it's great to
have a little reminder that I should take some time for myself and my
health.
K eep up the good work. I will always be grateful as I
got out of
my plateau after your May boot camp, nothing had worked before. You're
my
hero!"~ Solene

Blogs from last weekend's Oregon Beach adventure
 Outdoor girl
checking in from Cannon Beach, Oregon.
Well, this is a fine
how-do-you-do. My two darling
sisters, Pam and Kristie, and I have just driven out to the Oregon
coastline after rendezvous in Portland from 3 corners of the country.
We drove the
winding roads from the city to the coast, stopping for baskets of
berries and loaves of fresh bread along the way. Oh, and some
huckleberry jam. CLICK HERE to read more>>>>>
Burst Training, Beach Style

a 15 minute quickie on my stationary bike.
Lucky me to blast
through this routine for a change in barefoot freedom on the sand while
here in Cannon Beach, Oregon. Two days in a row. Click HERE to read more>>>>>
