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?

Soul Strolling: 9/2- 8 WRD
Normally I copy this post on Sunday or Monday and start filling it in as the week goes on. I knew I hadn't been doing much with the post, but on Friday I realized I hadn't even started it! Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and just sharing juggling activity with a stressful, … Continue reading Soul Strolling: 9/2- 8 WRD
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
We can learn to love again: August 2019
So sue me: I basically picked Pink's song because I like it and it's my blog. So there. I haven't fallen out of love with running, although maybe I've fallen out of love with training hard? I don't know. The nice fall-like weather at the end of the month did make it easier to fall … Continue reading We can learn to love again: August 2019
Sliding into Fall: 8/26- 9/1 WRD
Another quiet week, and the last of my YTT calls. It's amazing how much information we were exposed to -- many students who are already teachers commented on how it was far more in depth than what they went through in an in person training. But just how much of it have I actually absorbed? … Continue reading Sliding into Fall: 8/26- 9/1 WRD
All the roots & mud: 8/19- 25 WRD
It was a relatively quiet week, with minimal running but included my first Trail 10k, and the weather finally turned lovely towards the end of the week -- just in time for said Trail race! Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and just sharing Summer activities. And linking up with Jenn @ Runswithpugs, … Continue reading All the roots & mud: 8/19- 25 WRD
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
Burger Battles: 8/12- 18 WRD
Yet more rain (and thunderstorms), a return of heat & humidity, some hiking, a bit less running, and a taste test. That's what went down this week. Joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner and just sharing Summer activities. And linking up with Jenn @ Runswithpugs, Brandi @ Funnerrunner, Anna Louise @ Graciouswarriorprincess, Briana … Continue reading 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 . . .
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
