The Tao of Me

This weekend 2 favorites of mine converged – running and baseball = The Giant Race. Here’s how the weekend went. Friday ART I visited my chiro for an ART session. If you’ve ever had an ART session, you know that they are very intense, but fairy short, usually 15 minutes or so. This particular session [...]

TGIF! It’s Friday afternoon and I can hardly believe that I survived the week. The week started off with hours spent at the County courthouse for Jury Duty. Yes, JURY DUTY. It makes me irrationally angry that because someone else decided to commit a crime, others have to be inconvenienced by sitting in a basement [...]

After taking no rest days in Week 32, I ended up taking 2 this week due to some unexpected travel. But the rest was much needed and I ended up only missing 1 workout of the entire week. Monday AM: Spin. I decided to skip my usual Monday morning Core training class. The regular instructor [...]

The one thing I love most about this summer is the evolution of Sunday Rundays. Almost every Sunday has turned into a group run/meet-up + food.

I left on Tuesday evening and just got back this afternoon. I felt so many emotions over the past [...]

But just because I can’t make it to a class, doesn’t mean that I can’t practice [...]

Despite some recurring aches and pains, I really felt like this past training week was a good one. I slept well (at least 7 hours every night), ate well and overall, just felt well balanced. Sunday Yoga: As I mentioned last week, I have really skimped out on my yoga practice since early July and [...]

So remember the book I mentioned in this post? The one that I am *still* reading (yes, I’m slow that way)… I found this video by the author that talks about using calorie counting to create dietary awareness. I’ve actually found this to be true. After a few weeks of counting calories, I am pretty [...]
