A Journey from the Mat, through the Miles (and Beyond)
Yoga, Running, Fitness and Lifestyle
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
I know, I know I haven't been blogging, but I promise - I have been training (if you follow me on Instagram, you know I have been). I am a photographer, so for all of my marathon training runs for my past 2 (and now 3) marathons I take at least one photo. So I... Continue Reading →
