Not only are we into the unofficial end of summer, for the most part, lately, the weather has been hinting at Fall. Are you ready to let go of Summer and plunge into Fall? I enjoy every season, except Winter. It's just never been my thing. I'm joining Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice and getting a few … Continue reading I do it my way: Runfessions August 2019

Thatcher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/25/19
My first trail race was a half marathon. Yes, chocolate was involved. Of course. My next trail race? A 5k. Kind of on a whim, the day after a long run, mostly because it was a beautiful day. The next year I was getting close to my 18 mile road race, and I didn't want … Continue reading Thatcher Park Trail Festival 10k Race Recap 8/25/19

Bring Your Yoga on Your Run
I'm not talking about busting out some yoga moves during your run, but if that's your jam, go for it! Personally, I'm usually too focused on wanting to finish to stop and bust out some yoga moves. YTT isn't just about learning yoga posture and how to string them together and cue them; it's about … Continue reading Bring Your Yoga on Your Run
I’m not a get up and go girl
I admire the runners who get up, maybe drink some coffee and eat some toast, and boom! They're ready to toe the line at a race. Getting ready for a long run or race is a process for me. It starts the night before I try to make sure everything is laid out the night … Continue reading I’m not a get up and go girl
Burger Battles: 8/12- 18 WRD

Pace is of the ego . . .
In my YTT, our teacher shared the following quote: Range is of the ego, form is of the soul My take on that is that especially now, in the age of Instagram and Facebook, we're all after that perfect looking yoga pose. The perfect headstand, handstand. Arm balances, Inversions. You know: those really cool looking … Continue reading Pace is of the ego . . .
Do the loco-motion with me
Do I have a favorite running shoe? Bwahaha! You've read about my struggles with finding my Newton Motions, which yes, is my favorite running shoe. Why did I have to fall in love with a shoe made by a small company? Then why did said small company get even smaller, the shoes even more expensive … Continue reading Do the loco-motion with me
Summer slow down: 8/5- 11 WRD
Quite a bit of rain this week, although my treadmill runs were just due to circumstances, like going to my parents and knowing it takes me less time to run on the mill -- and wouldn't ruin my hair, either. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and just sharing Summer activities. And linking … Continue reading Summer slow down: 8/5- 11 WRD
Does your body type dictate what you do?
I have to admit I've never given much thought to my body type and the various careers I've had. Part of my YTT (yoga teacher training) is an overview on Ayurveda. I'm very obviously not an expert, but for those who wonder A-yur-what?, it's an ancient Indian healing science that considers the mind and body, … Continue reading Does your body type dictate what you do?
