The trials & Kelly McDonigal’s _The Joy of Movement_
After the awe-inspiring and fantastic Olympics trials this weekend, all I can say is wow.
Where do you even begin, or how do we even start, to unpack everything that went down?
So many stories, so many victories and upsets and surprises — it’s incredible.
I’m in the throes of the book The Joy of Movement right now, and I find myself nodding my head in agreement and quietly muttering hell yeah! to so much of what author Kelly McGonigal says. There is serious, practically indelible power that arises from people working together, and wow… the marathon, and the Olympic trials in particular, is such a fantastic backdrop to it. The we-agency rolled DEEP!
Who could have ever thought that the simple act of meaningfully moving our bodies — and in concert with someone else — could have such profound, life-altering effects?
Short on time and sleep at the moment, but more to come next week on the subject (hopefully by then I’ll have wrapped up the book and will have more to say).
Mega congrats to everyone who earned their chance to toe the line last weekend in Atlanta; you make us all so proud!
