Tumamoc Thoughts <3

I've said this a few times before but I'll say it again... I've been on this fitness journey for as long as I've been living in Tucson.

I wasn't really into fitness when I was in high school, but all of that changed when I first stepped foot in the Rec at the University of Arizona.

I feel like I've been trying to find my inner fitness guru ever since! Channeling that inner guru is another story and of course, I've had breaks here and there, because you know... life happens. But with COVID-19 bringing life to a stop, I've found more peace and serenity now, than I ever have.

And this is all thanks to staying physically and mentally fit. The physical part is probably the easiest because once you're committed, there's really no stopping. With the physical fitness comes the mental fitness..... and I'm pretty sure by now you know that there are so many benefits to staying active.

With gyms being closed, it's hard to get a workout in and working out from home just doesn't hit the same, let's be honest.

This is where Tumamoc Hill comes in.

I feel like I have finally found it! That inner peace that I've been looking for, that guilty pleasure, my safe space, my happy place.

Tumamoc has done wonders for me! That 3-mile hike brings me so much joy I really can't explain it.

All of my thoughts and worries are put on hold as I walk up that mountain.

I can feel the ground below me, the hot Tucson breeze around me. I can hear the buzzing of the bugs, I enjoy the rays of the sun, and I leave everything at the bottom as I breathe heavily trying to reach the top.

It's become my ritual. Therefore, I will be keeping account of my thoughts as I make my way up there every week and I will be sharing them with you along the way. Welcome to my journey!
