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

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?

Joining … Continue reading OMG (#allthegnats): 7/29- 8/4 WRD
Playing with those intervals: Spilling over tea/coffee August 2019
Ten years into running and I'm still experimenting with the best way to run for me. It's one of the things I like about running -- there's always more to learn, and different things work for different bodies (the same could be said about yoga). Pull up a chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for the … Continue reading Playing with those intervals: Spilling over tea/coffee August 2019
Why am I here?
Or finding what I want to be when I grow up. I often tell people that I'm a sort of jack of all trades, master of none sort of person. I've dabbled in a lot hobbies, some coming and going regularly, so for just a very short time, others for the long haul. I've spent … Continue reading Why am I here?
