The Friday Five: Five Yoga Poses for Runners

Before I get into the nitty-gritty of this post, I want to do a shout out to my mom. Today is her birthday! She’s pretty awesome, and is a yoga teacher, too! I’ll be heading home in two weeks to celebrate with her. Thanks to Mar on the Run, Eat Pray Run DC, and YouContinue reading “The Friday Five: Five Yoga Poses for Runners”

Hills and Hills and Hills

I love hills, mountains… any topography really. I think that’s from growing up in Florida where the highest peak is a garbage dump. It’s to no one’s surprise that my favorite running workout is hill repeats! In fact, my favorite thing about living in Kansas is the ability to drive out to Colorado any timeContinue reading “Hills and Hills and Hills”

Colfax Marathon Week 2: Kickin’ Butt!!

Week two of my Colfax Marathon training cycle is over, and I only have 110 days to get myself ready! I know that sounds like a long time… but it’s not. However, it will be more than enough time if every week goes as well as this week did. Basically, mostly everything went right. IContinue reading “Colfax Marathon Week 2: Kickin’ Butt!!”

Colfax Training Week 1: Strong Start

I finished my first week of training for the Colfax Marathon, and things went great, despite the rather frigid temperatures and icy conditions. I took it slow, but getting back to higher mileage feels good. A few of my friends in Manhattan have been training with me and holding me accountable to my mileage asContinue reading “Colfax Training Week 1: Strong Start”

Gone with the old and in with 2016!

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a fun and safe holiday with your family. I have been gone for quite a while and I missed the running community a lot. I am back in Kansas again (finally!) after traveling pretty much all over our hemisphere. After Utah I left for Virginia for a weekContinue reading “Gone with the old and in with 2016!”

Heading West!

By the time you read this, I’ll be on my way to Utah! Lows throughout the week are in the teens, and since we are camping, I’m kinda expecting to spend my nights pretty cold. We should be in Moab by the end of the day Saturday and then the exploring begins! My birthday isContinue reading “Heading West!”

Training (or something like it) Update

I’m not sure that I’d go as far as to call last week training. I only ran a little over 6 miles but I did tons of yoga. I was exhausted from all of the yoga and travel during the conference and couldn’t really muster the energy (or time) to go for a run. IContinue reading “Training (or something like it) Update”

First Time Pacer

I had a ton of fun this weekend down in Fort Lauderdale at the Yoga Journal Conference! I always feel like these conferences really push my practice to the next level and inspire my yoga teaching. I’ll post more about it later. I have some pretty cool news! I am pacing the Bill Snyder HalfContinue reading “First Time Pacer”
