A Journey from the Mat, through the Miles (and Beyond)
Yoga, Running, Fitness and Lifestyle
Happy New Year! Yes, I know - it's already 9 days in, but I had a post-new year vacation/family get together last week, so for me the new year is really rolling along starting today. 2016 was a good year. I continued to expand my yoga teaching. It has been so great to teach yoga... Continue Reading →
Last Saturday, May 21 I ran the NYRR AirBnB Brooklyn Half. This was my 8th (I think) half, and my 2nd time running NYRR's Bklyn Half, and my first half of 2016. Woah... actually the first time I ran 13 miles since the Philadelphia Marathon. Before I even got to race day, I wasn't really... Continue Reading →
Hi! Yes, it's me - I am still here, still teaching yoga, still running and yes finally again - still blogging. I can't believe how long it's been since I wrote. I wish I had some great excuse (maybe even a not great one), but I don't. I can only say that today I am... Continue Reading →
Two weeks, seriously, how has it been 2 weeks since I ran the Philadelphia Marathon already?! But yes it has been 2 weeks, and when in the past I have slowed down my running, thanks to the Runner's World Run Streak - I have been running at least a mile a day since Nov 30... Continue Reading →
Days, I am days away from the Philadelphia Marathon. It's so close I logged my last long taper run today with 8 miles in the book. It wasn't the best run, but that's ok. Now if you follow me on Instagram (@TamTurse) you see that I am a bit of a girly girl (did you... Continue Reading →
I know, I know I haven't been blogging, but I promise - I have been training (if you follow me on Instagram, you know I have been). I am a photographer, so for all of my marathon training runs for my past 2 (and now 3) marathons I take at least one photo. So I... Continue Reading →
After a solid training week during Week 7, aka my return to the road, I approached Week 8 with excitement. What's not to be excited about - a holiday on Monday, and then a beach escape for me for a post-Labor Day weekend getaway. But, some planning had to go into my week: did I... Continue Reading →
If this had been two marathon trainings ago, I am not sure how confident I would be feeling right now. This past weekend I finished Week 7 of my marathon training with a 14 mile long run (that went well, thank you very much) - but those miles were not paved with weeks of previous... Continue Reading →
Last week the miles went down, and so did my running time (yay PR), so as I came into Week 4, with its increase of miles (and temps here in the Metro NYC area), I wasn't sure how it would go given my long run struggle on Week 2. Good planning, and getting out early... Continue Reading →
In my post on Week 2's training you may remember that I did not have a really good long run (9 miles) but I accepted and owned it. Even that early in the training process there will be ups and downs, and Week 3 we are up, or should I say down because on Thursday... Continue Reading →
