a fitness professional's attempt at living a yoga life….one breath at a time
So, Lesson #2 is something that I should have picked up from Gretchen Rubin awhile back..... anything worth doing is worth doing every day (or something like that). Anyway, for the month of July I am STREAKING with my runs. Today is Day 11 (which is actually 12 days in a row just because of …
I received this in an email from MapMyRun the other day: Apparently, in the last few years that I've been "tracking" my workouts (although not all of them) I've now achieved 1000 workouts. I think that I probably "workout" about 1000 times/year between teaching and other things. I don't always count those things, but I'm …
Wait a minute.....MapMyRun, Where is my Q3 Performance Report?! Just this last week I realized that I had never done a post at the end of September about where I'm at and what I've achieved so far. I mean I did the Q1 for 2017 and the Mid Year Performance Report, but I have checked …
Look at what I got on Sunday! After months of shopping around for the "right price" I finally found a price that I could at least stomach. They arrived Sunday afternoon and I had been waiting all weekend to take them for a spin. A few things that are different about my new pair of …
Back in April I gave you all the rundown on my Q1 Performance Report. It was a slow start to the year and right around the time I started training with my friend for the 8K we'll be running in September. Map My Run (not a sponsored post) sent me my Mid-Year Performance Report recently. …

The other day in my inbox I received this from MapMyRun It was both saddening and motivating. See, it's not totally reflective of all the "activity" I've done so far this year. I no longer track my yoga teaching or practice, my HIIT workouts, my Pilates, nor anything I do outside of walking and running …
It's been awhile since I've written on the blog....a little over a week. On Monday I had every intention of posting about how wonderful it was to have taken my last dose of Prednisone, but the truth is that this week has been a little of ups and downs. In my health journal I have …
One of my least favorite terms as a fitness professional is the word "HEALTHY". Why does it rub me the wrong way? Well, because it's hard to define in some instances. The definition of HEALTH that we use for the NETA PT Workshop is: Health: Freedom from disease AND the capacity to enjoy life …
So, this morning I did it.....I got up when I heard my kids up; I got ready; I committed to running before the rain; and I did it! Now it's rainy and gloomy here and my body feels awful because I haven't slept well and I've been terrible about exercise. It's been 5 weeks since …
