For some reason this week I’ve been seriously craving yoga. My workout preferences definitely vary with my mood and I’ve just really been into the calming effect of being on my yoga mat and getting lost in my practice recently. I know I typically talk a lot of running around here, but since I’ve been … Continue reading

A Pain in the Neck – Update
So if you read my Pain in the Neck post last week I’m sure it’s no surprise that my workouts were completely non-existant.

Thoughts on Joining a NYCM Charity Team – Part 2
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post on my thoughts on joining a charity team for this year’s New York City Marathon. I sort of had mixed feelings, and really loved all the feedback I got from everyone. At the time I thought the “3 strikes and your IN” rule still applied to … Continue reading
Cherry Blossom Weekend: Touring DC
As I mentioned in my recap of the Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run, the actual race may have taken a bit of a backseat to all of the touring plans I had for my weekend in DC! When I was last in DC for the Marine Corps Marathon in October I didn’t really do much … Continue reading
RACE RECAP – Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run
