Wednesday had a high of 50F! Perfect running weather. I went to visit my mom; I got to enjoy the warmer weather on my hike there, but there was no time to run. I notice how much more birdsong there is these days, and the days staying light longer. Spring takes a long time to … Continue reading Warmer days are ahead!: 2/22 – 28 WRD

Typical February Week: 2/15 – 21 WRD
Snow. Ice. Cold. Not nearly as much as forecast, though -- in fact, much, much less (except the cold part). I was able to run outside twice. My heart goes out to my friends in Austin, even while I'm actually glad (for once!) that we live here and not there. I've been without power. I've … Continue reading Typical February Week: 2/15 – 21 WRD
Private Yin Yoga Class Giveaway: 2/8 – 14 WRD
I visited my mom for the first time in almost 6 weeks, which made her very happy. It was a very busy, tiring week though, but I feel as if I accomplished a lot -- including three runs, a tiny bit of indoor cycling, and some short strength training sessions. I'd like to say today … Continue reading Private Yin Yoga Class Giveaway: 2/8 – 14 WRD
February at its best: 2/1 – 7 WRD
There was nothing remarkable about this week -- except for the fact that my mom got her first vaccine. Otherwise, pretty much same old, same old. February is doing what February does best: cold, gray, and snowy. Although I'd still say despite that we're "enjoying" a somewhat mild Winter.' I have to admit I don't … Continue reading February at its best: 2/1 – 7 WRD
Last year in the 50s: Tea/coffee Date February 2021
Thanks, Coco and Deborah, for inviting me and all the other bloggers to get together with the warm beverage of our choice and get caught up in what's going on in our worlds. If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I'd tell you the last couple of years have changed my relationship with running. I don't know … Continue reading Last year in the 50s: Tea/coffee Date February 2021
Commencement: 1/25 -31 WRD
As in let the runs commence. A little, anyway. For much of January we had decent Winter running. Not too cold (mostly), not to snowy (mostly). Unfortunately I also wasn't feeling up to running. Naturally now that I am, we've already had snow & bitter cold & a Nor'Easter maybe on the way -- my … Continue reading Commencement: 1/25 -31 WRD
A week of creativity: 1/18 – 24 WRD
Even though I felt even better most of this week, there were a few days I didn't. Very annoying. Even more annoying? I managed to tweak something in my dominant arm shoulder, not once, but twice! After a lot of SMR (self myofascial release), both times, the pain quickly went away -- although it took … Continue reading A week of creativity: 1/18 – 24 WRD
Welcome to Go with Yin Yoga
Today I am unveiling my new Website and Blog for Yoga here. It is very much a work in progress, so I appreciate your gentle, constructive criticism. At the moment it's also a personal site, so there are some things I can't change -- and then there are some things I can change, but I … Continue reading Welcome to Go with Yin Yoga

I Started It: a 40 Day Kriya
Kriya is a Sanskrit term. Essentially it's a set of exercises to help move energy throughout the body. Although there is some resemblance to "normal" Yoga asana, it's quite different too. Fairytales and Fitness I am definitely no expert in either Kriyas or Kundalini Yoga, which is the type of Yoga Kriyas are often associated with. … Continue reading I Started It: a 40 Day Kriya
