A Journey from the Mat, through the Miles (and Beyond)
Yoga, Running, Fitness and Lifestyle
Happy October (aka, spooky season, aka my favorite time of year)! It’s Spooky Season! This year has seen changes and transformations like no other, and we should not discount the effect the seasonal change has on us, recognizing that the compounding of it all right now could feel very overwhelming. If you know me outside... Continue Reading →
And when a headline is the understatement of the decade .... Hey Friends! I know, it's been what seems like a lifetime since I have written here. And it's not like I haven't been planning on getting back to this. I've had many changes since I last wrote. This past January, I did a vision... Continue Reading →
Staying hydrated is one of the key components to a healthy life, right? And when you go to any yoga, pilates, spin, HIIT (you get the idea) class bringing your water bottle is as important as that extra hair tie around your wrist, right? Do you grab any plastic/giveaway bottle in your cabinet, or do... Continue Reading →
When I first started this blog, it was while I was in Yoga Teacher Training, my 200 hour (now I'm 2/3s of the way done toward my 500 hour), and I wanted to write about that journey, and also my running which at the time I was doing more and more of as well. Now... Continue Reading →
My 2018 racing is off to a good start, even if I have only run 2 races. In January I completed a Half Marathon that I admittedly did not train for - and sub-2ed it. Then last week I ran a 5K in the hilly Washington Heights, also with a time I was happy with... Continue Reading →

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 →
Hello 2018! Aren’t you looking great. What, oh yes I know – I haven’t just woken after a very long New Year’s Eve nap – it’s already the 11th, seriously we’re almost 50% done with the 1st month of the year. But to me – this week is the week that it all begins –... 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 →
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 →
