 I try the "drive and run" !! One of the downsides of running in the city- Traffic stops !! If you are in a big city like me you know exactly what I'm talking about. So after a suggestion from a friend I headed to "one boathouse row". Best Decision Ever!! https://www.visitphilly.com/things-to-do/attractions/boathouse-row/ There is a free parking lot with restrooms and a coffee shop and a beautiful uninterrupted trial !!  Other running trial I really loved is "Wissahickon valley park" https://www.visitphilly.com/things-to-do/attractions/wissahickon-valley-park/

 I TRY MEDITATION -- Carve out 5-15 minutes in your day. -- Find a place that is comfortable and quiet. -- Start with eyes closed and improving awareness by noticing where your body is in relation to the space around you. -- Focus by bringing your thoughts to a key word for me its "Om".

You can says the word out loud if. it helps. -- At then end come out of your meditation state while thinking of your days ahead- family, goals, priorities etc.  -- Benefits: increased focus, self awareness and ability to handle stress.  -- I found the headspace app helpful but not necessary. Youtube " guided meditation " when you begin. -- Obviously there is a whole world of meditation out there - so go explore !!
