Day 4 – Yoga Challenge

Posted by: Sara_J In: Cross Training| Life

Posting this a little late after my class last night, but I was busy watching High School Musical 3. (Sidebar: As a near 27-year-old, I’m not ashamed to say that one day I hope our paths cross. He’s not THAT much younger than me). Anyway, I digress.

Day 2 – The Real Work Begins

Posted by: Sara_J In: Cross Training

So today was a busy one. In addition to day 2 of the Bikram yoga challenge, I went to a movie and discussion (Meetup) and to dinner with a bunch of like-minded exercise-type folks (Ari’s grad school friends).

So those of you who follow me on Twitter or Daily Mile already know the drill. I hurt my foot in the middle of an 8-mile run on Wednesday. The doctor thinks I have peroneal tendonitis. He wants me back in two weeks to double check that there are no fractures. Regardless, it means no [...]

Two Hundred Sit-Ups? Eek!

Posted by: Sara_J In: Cross Training

Most runners know the importance of a strong core contributing to their running. I have woefully neglected any other strength training since I’ve started running because I already noticed the benefit on my abs. But through my constant reading of all things running, I’m learning that it’s just not enough.
Many might have heard of the [...]


About Me

I'm a 27-year-old chick who moved to Austin, TX last year after living in Washington, D.C. for eight years. I work in PR and spend a lot of my spare time running, reading about running and writing about running. I'm using this site to keep me motivated in my training and hopefully motivate others. Enjoy!
