What if you ran like an elite?
Obviously most of us are not going to be paid to run or earn a lot (or any, most likely) money running and racing. I think we could still all learn a lot from how elites run. If you've ever watched an elite runner, you probably marveled at how effortless they make running fast look. … Continue reading What if you ran like an elite?
Rest needed, stat!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2019
On Monday we spent the day with my parents. Despite the rain, the dogs were pretty good. Bandit (he appears here a couple of times) seems to particularly enjoy going to my parents -- until it's dinner time. We had a nice visit with my parents and some of their friends. The next day my … Continue reading Rest needed, stat!: Spilling over tea/coffee September 2019

Bring Your Yoga on Your Run

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
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 . . .
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

What happens when you have some racing downtime, for whatever reason -- should you simply … Continue reading Reasons to train . . .
We tried it: Butcher Box
Have you ever mentioned something to your significant other, just thinking that they might want to consider it, and then before you know it they've already ordered it? That was sort of our experience with Butcher Box. I should have known that anything to do with beef would immediately get my husband's attention. If you're … Continue reading We tried it: Butcher Box
