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 →
When Things Change
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 →
Marathon Musings
Monday was like the Super Bowl for runners - it was the Boston Marathon. The race is always a show of amazing will and determination - just qualifying for the race is an aspiration goal of many (me, me, me!). But this past Monday was beyond what could be considered "adverse conditions." Freezing cold, rain,... Continue Reading →
Taking the Practice hOMe
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 →
Oh Hey 2018!
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 →

Motivation
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 →
Not the Best of Times, Not the Worst of Times (Literally)
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 →
Thoughts on a Marathon, 2 Weeks Later
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 →
Musings on a Marathon Manicure
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 →
