Multitasking doesn’t pay off: Runfessions June 2022

June 24, 2022June 23, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 16 Comments

I runfess . . .As tempting as it is to leave the foam rolling until after practicing Yoga in the morning, I have learned my lesson and know that I have to do it before -- or it just won't get done. I runfess . . .I mentioned last week that my Garmin has been … Continue reading Multitasking doesn’t pay off: Runfessions June 2022

Running through the Koshas

June 17, 2022June 15, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 16 Comments

I ran 9 miles a few weeks ago, so I had plenty of time to think during that run. Which is how I came up with this subject. There are 5 Koshas, so it fit perfectly. What is a Kosha, you ask? According to most Yoga philosophy, you have 5 bodies (some philosophy actually says … Continue reading Running through the Koshas

5 Benefits of Recovery Runs

June 10, 2022June 9, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 8 Comments

There were many years that I shunned the Recovery Run, then there was a period when I was running recovery runs on a regular basis. In that period I came to appreciate the Recovery Run. I'm linking up with My First 5K and More, Running With Attitude, Runs with Pugs, Zenaida and Run Laugh Eat Pie for Fit Five Friday. … Continue reading 5 Benefits of Recovery Runs

Peloton & Treadmills: Runfessions May 2022

May 27, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 16 Comments

I runfess . . .I originally was thinking about another 5k in in May. Then it got suddenly hot (and the day the race was run would potentially have thunderstorms as a cold front was supposed to come through). Then COVID started surging again, and I decided it just wasn't a race I wanted to … Continue reading Peloton & Treadmills: Runfessions May 2022

5 Tips to Keep Your Socks Whole!

May 20, 2022May 17, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 16 Comments

My socks stay intact, but I know a lot of runners who struggle with holey socks -- and holey running shoes, too! Knock on wood that hasn't been a problem for me so far. I got curious about what might cause this problem and any possible solutions. I'm linking up with My First 5K and … Continue reading 5 Tips to Keep Your Socks Whole!

5 Tips to Choose a Running Tour

May 13, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 6 Comments

If you want to see a new place, exploring on your own is a lot of fun, but if you want to uplevel your adventures, consider a tour (which I wrote about in this post here). I do have to add a caveat: I have not done tours during the Pandemic, and I haven't researched … Continue reading 5 Tips to Choose a Running Tour

Running Up, Down, and Around the Rain: Runfessions April 2022

April 29, 2022April 28, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 25 Comments

I runfess . . .This actually happened in March, I think, but then I never wrote about it. I didn't tighten the top on my water bottle completely, and when I got to where I ran, about a quarter of it had leaked out. I was grateful it hadn't all leaked out or gotten me … Continue reading Running Up, Down, and Around the Rain: Runfessions April 2022

5 Artists I’m Loving Lately

April 22, 2022April 21, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 14 Comments

I had an alternative title for this post: throwing it way, way back. Let me explain. I've written about my adventures with self massage (throw in dry brushing, too). Using music during the massage and my showers.  I grew up singing in a choir and playing in bands/orchestras. I went to music camp. I still … Continue reading 5 Artists I’m Loving Lately

Dynamic Balance: A Mini Book Review

April 15, 2022April 15, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 14 Comments

Integrating Principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine I find Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) fascinating, but it's not light reading. The authors of Dynamic Balance (Amazon Affiliate) do provide insight into TCM and how it can benefit athletes in an approachable way. They go into the basics of TCM and how it can benefit you as a … Continue reading Dynamic Balance: A Mini Book Review

5 Tips to Create Your Perfect Affirmation

April 8, 2022April 4, 2022 ~ Chocolaterunsjudy ~ 16 Comments

The word mantra is thrown around a lot for runners: pick a few mantras for your race, for instance. A mantra in the Hindu philosophy is generally a short statement in Sanskrit, given to you by a guru. Sanskrit is known to be a vibrational language, meaning that the sounds the language makes as you … Continue reading 5 Tips to Create Your Perfect Affirmation
