Well… I didn’t see Sage Canaday this week, but that’s to be expected since I don’t think he visits Kansas much. I did have some solid training and put up 34 miles in my last week before the A1A half. Some miles were good, some were ok, some were pretty miserable. I guess that’s to beContinue reading “Colfax Marathon Training Week 4: Upping the speed!”

Short Core Sequence for Runners (and everyone else too)!
Core work is usually everyone’s least favorite exercise to do. In yoga classes, I rarely get suggestions for it, and when I do sequences with a lot of core exercises, usually everyone complains or makes some pretty mean-looking faces. Even though people don’t like it… it’s still important to do. In fact, I think theContinue reading “Short Core Sequence for Runners (and everyone else too)!”
Colfax Training Week 3: I saw Sage Canaday on a run!!!
I saw Sage Canaday on my long run this week. Let me repeat that… I actually SAW and RAN BY Sage Canaday while on a run in Boulder. I’m pretty sure that my running life is complete. He ran by at a crazy fast pace decked out in some Hoka gear and some sweet sunglasses.Continue reading “Colfax Training Week 3: I saw Sage Canaday on a run!!!”
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”
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”
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”
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. It seems counter intuitive. I know that in order toContinue reading “Practice Running Fast Through Yoga”
Some moving, some training, and lots of pictures!
Guess what! I have a furnished apartment! I have a desk, a table, futon, bed… I am a real person with a real place and I love it! I live in a historic building that was a hotel in the 1920’s. My apartment is pretty tiny, but it suits Frank and I (and our twoContinue reading “Some moving, some training, and lots of pictures!”
