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 →
Happy New Year! Yes, I know - it's already 9 days in, but I had a post-new year vacation/family get together last week, so for me the new year is really rolling along starting today. 2016 was a good year. I continued to expand my yoga teaching. It has been so great to teach yoga... Continue Reading →
Hi! Yes, it's me - I am still here, still teaching yoga, still running and yes finally again - still blogging. I can't believe how long it's been since I wrote. I wish I had some great excuse (maybe even a not great one), but I don't. I can only say that today I am... 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 →
In my post on Week 2's training you may remember that I did not have a really good long run (9 miles) but I accepted and owned it. Even that early in the training process there will be ups and downs, and Week 3 we are up, or should I say down because on Thursday... 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 →
