Yoga Poses for Runners Jan 2013



I wanted to make sure to take note of this article by runner's world in an effort to motivate myself to re-try yoga. I say retry because I tried it once, years ago, and really wasn't too impressed. Now, they are telling me it can make a me a better runner (something I didn't do back then either) so I suppose I might give it a second glance.

I am going to make it my mission to try at least one type of yoga by the end of the month and go from there. I hear great things about it from many people (including my mom) but I just can't see myself ever enjoying the relaxation ones. If it doesn't push me physically, I feel like I'd be better off relaxing on the couch.

What are your favorite types of yoga??

I'd love to find some videos online that are free so I don't have to spend money to get my fit on. - any suggestions?

Into the woods

 Every week since I updated the look here, I keep telling myself I will write. Somehow life (or sleep) gets in the way and I never sit down to get started on anything.  Early last week, Bryan suggested that we take our long run to the Appalachian Trail and of course I agreed immediately. He knows how much I love running trails, especially the AT, and even more so, starting at Boiling Springs. I have a history with the AT, so running there always feels a little like home when we are able to run there.  Some areas had a little snow Friday and it was evident that the trail was sprinkled with a tiny amount- just enough to feel slightly magical. It's been a super mild winter here in PA, so we get excited every time we see even a flurry of snow.  There was no shortage of fun little fan mushrooms so I could not resist the urge to stop for a few photo ops. It seemed like they were doing some cleanup after the frequent high winds we have had lately, so I did see some areas wi...

2017- a killer year for running

Image
Can you believe that we made it through 2017 and here we are at the start of a new year full of new goals and possibilities? 2017 was a mixed bag for me. Running-wise it was fantastic, but other things not so much at all. Looking back at all of the things I have accomplished and all of the miles I have tackled make me feel nothing short of amazing. Incredible. Strong. BADASS. I wanted to do a quick run down of all the races I did this year. I didn't blog on all of them but I thought it would be fun. I ended up doing 18- YES EIGHTEEN races this year ranging from 1 mile to 100k (62+ miles) with a total of 1540 miles which is my highest mileage yet. So here goes, you ready?? 1.  Squirelly Tail Twail Wun  - 2/26/17, time 2:26:34. This was a super sweet, muddy race. The temperature was cold but not frigid and I had a course PR. I had so much fun and it was a great first race of the year for me. I plan to back in 2018 for year 4. 2.  Chambersburg half - 3/11/17, tim...
