Day 19 Healthy routines 1/19/14

Nothing too exciting happened today. Now that we are in the routine of things, we fill our days with normal activities like reading, basketball, eating, and such. One of our goals for living in Thailand is to become healthier mentally and physically. Our mental health will come from meditation. Ryan and I have been  confirmed for a ten day meditation retreat for febuary 14-24 through the International Buddhist Center. The center has strict rules. You may not; touch anyone, use electronics, wear makeup, sleep in past five am, or speak outside designated times. In addition to our mental strengthening we want to become healthier physically. We started today by running to the school near the apartment. At the school we played basketball and did a few running and shooting drills. From the school we jogged back to our apartment where we read and watched movies for the rest of the night.
