Biking my way back to running

Thanks everyone for the advice and support on my ankle injury last week. It’s never fun to be sidelined, but I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things and it was nice to hear your words of encouragement. My ankle has been feeling a lot better, and I seem to be back to doingContinue reading “Biking my way back to running”

A New Path to 26.2

I have been avoiding writing this post, since I knew it would make this more real. But the thing is… it’s pretty real. So I guess I’ll just let it spill. I deferred my entry for Chicago until 2016. Several weeks ago, I was climbing a few 14ers (mountains that are over 14,000 feet) inContinue reading “A New Path to 26.2”

Practice Running Fast Through Yoga

I have taught a lot runners and triathletes yoga. So, when I ask those students why they do yoga, I get a list of reasons including stretching, strengthening, relaxation, etc. Rarely, do I hear people say that they practice yoga to run faster or push harder.

Hospital Hill Half Marathon Race Recap

There was one word to describe the Hospital Hill Run: Hilly. Oh boy was it hilly. I can confidently say that this race was the hardest one that I’ve done. No, I did not PR.

Some moving, some training, and lots of pictures!

My apartment is pretty tiny, but it suits Frank and I (and our twoContinue reading “Some moving, some training, and lots of pictures!”
