Yoga, Running, Fitness and Lifestyle
Retreat. It often has a negative connotation: an escape, running away, those who are not "strong enough" do not continue on. In our society of go-go-go, we may wear our packed schedules and tired bodies as badges of honor. We believe we are so valued, so important, that we need to be in constant contact,...

Sunday I ran my first race of 2018 - and a Half at that. I love training (mostly). I mean, sometimes it's nice to not think about getting up early, or when I will get out running, a little vacay from it all feels good, but it's important to not settle in to that. And... Continue Reading →
For years I have said I would like to create a home practice, and add meditation into my life. And it's sort of happened in fits and starts - but nothing concrete and sustained. But today, after finishing up some work and wondering what I might want to start on next (after another check of... Continue Reading →
Today seemed to be a good day to start a regular post about my running - my previous week's runs, planned races, training, race reviews, etc - because as you may know, the TCS NYC Marathon lottery opened up today. With fingers and bruised toes crossed I put my submission in, please lottery gods, please!?!?!... Continue Reading →

Hello!!! Yes, I know, it's been awhile since I've written, but I have certainly not been quiet on social media ( @tamturse). With the start of a new month, and a new 18 month planner (I love you Lilly P. planner, your colors brighten my day), I am ready to implement new changes, dedications and intentions....

I like music on my runs, I have certainly not been shy in talking about that. I know for many it's taboo. It's not like I have a specific playlist order that needs to play at a specific time to get me through a mile marker, etc. In fact, I love the disorder of Shuffle,... Continue Reading →
About 3 weeks ago I was introduced to such a fun concept, word, movement —- Hygge. Have you heard of it? I feel like I didn’t know anything about it, and then all of a sudden my Facebook feel was filled with it, including a post from Pure Wow about needing to read this book... Continue Reading →
Last week while I was up doing my Teaching Yoga to Athletes training at Kripalu - I thought not just about my yoga (and how inspired I was getting being around such great women and amazing learning) - but I also became inspired to revisit my own current sport of choice, running. I brought my... Continue Reading →
The New Year is the time to make new changes, right? I am not jumping right in to a bunch of changes for the new year (obvi since January is almost over, right), but instead gradually coming to make some changes, set some goals and intentions for 2017. One change. I am lucky to spend... Continue Reading →
