A Journey from the Mat, through the Miles (and Beyond)
Yoga, Running, Fitness and Lifestyle
So entering the second week of marathon training, it did not go as well as my first. As I'm sure I've mentioned before, I do not like running in the heat and last week it was extremely hot and humid on the East Coast, but it was ok, until my long run. I went into... Continue Reading →
The humidity finally dropped on the East Coast mid-week, and I couldn't have asked for it to come at a better time... the start of marathon training. Not that it hasn't been hot, but it does seem manageable, or is it the new drive I am feeling now that I'm "in training." I am using... Continue Reading →
On Monday I began my training for the Philadelphia Marathon. I sort of look at it as my New Year, I set intentions, make a plan and on the start of training day I find myself making personal changes (hopefully for the better) to my daily life. I have been trying for at least one... Continue Reading →
Training for any upcoming race is one of my favorite parts of my running experience. Sure, I have now become in my mind an "actual" runner meaning that I will go out for a run even when I'm not in training, but just for the love of running, keeping up my fitness, to work off... Continue Reading →

I still consider myself a novice runner. Yes, I have finished 2 marathons and countless (ok I could count them, but there are a good amount) Half-Marathons in my 3 years of running, but I don't think of myself as any expert and really think I'm still a newbie. When I first started running, I... Continue Reading →
OK, I know, it's been a few weeks since my last post. I don't have a great excuse, and that's ok. I'm sorry if you missed me but I'm back. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook (which I hope you do), you may know that it was my birthday on Monday. And not... Continue Reading →
OK, I'm a day late with the Mother's Day greetings, but hope all the moms out there had a happy day yesterday! Today, while I was thinking about writing a post I went back to thinking about my mix for the More/Shape Half, which I put a lot of women musicians on. It's a real... Continue Reading →
