A Journey from the Mat, through the Miles (and Beyond)
Yoga, Running, Fitness and Lifestyle
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 →
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 →
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 →
Every Monday I have posted about my love of music while running, and in yoga, songs I recommend, and working on playlists, etc. etc. The past Sunday was the More Fitness Shape Women's Half Marathon, and as I was getting ready for bed Saturday night I realized I hadn't finished my list. So I grabbed... Continue Reading →
With less than 4 weeks until the More/Fitness/Shape Half, I started working on my playlist yesterday. It's a run in NYC so there will probably be some NY-themed music, but it's an all women's run, so I think I should have some girl band and girl power music. First up, "The Warrior" by Scandal. I've... Continue Reading →
My "running season" starts in 5 weeks with my 1st Half of 2015, More Fitness Shape Women's Half, and while I was on my long training run this weekend it struck me that I have to start my playlist for the Half. Even though I have a great training music mix, I like to create... Continue Reading →
As a runner who runs to music, so many of my "running moments" are marked by the music playing while the moment is happening. When I hear the song again - whether running or not, I am often taken back to that moment. The first time I ever ran a mile (it was on a... Continue Reading →
On my old running blog, I focused on music on Mondays. Music has always been a part of my life - listening and singing (I am still a singer and an avid music listener). I know that purist runners run without music, but it is such a part of my running experience. It's funny, the... Continue Reading →
Tonight I begin my 200 hour yoga teacher training. I am looking forward to this journey and sharing it with you here and I hope you will follow along too. But this blog won't be just about yoga, I am also a runner and in the middle of training for my next Half-Marathon, The More-Fitness... Continue Reading →
