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 →
The Process, Stored
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 →
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.

Not the Best of Times, Not the Worst of Times (Literally)

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 →
Music Monday – Play(list) It Again
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 →
