The Tao of Me

Here are some favorites from last week’s annual birthday/Christmas shopping trip to New York: Bakeries I have been eating a bland diet since September and fully planned to indulge after CIM. I may not have been able to finish the race, but I was determined to reward myself for months and months of training. My [...]

Tuesday, November 22 AM: 1-hour (6-miles exactly) Easy Run PM: Bikram Yoga Wednesday, November 23 Since this was the last day of work before the long holiday weekend, I worked from home and was able to spread my workouts out over the course of the day (and still get in a full day’s work): AM: [...]

Okay I’m back. It’s been a busy, busy month so far and I have lots to blog about. But first I want to pick up where I left off, and finish recapping my weekend in New York. I mean, the whole purpose of the trip was to visit Woodbury Commons, so I must write about [...]

Its Saturday morning and I’m lying in bed trying to muster up the energy to head out for a run. The nice thing about being Fall/Winter is that I can head out later in the day and not die from heat exhaustion. While I’m trying to make myself get moving, I thought I’d write a [...]

A common trait that people always seem to write on their resumes is “able to multi-task.” Employers often look at this as a good thing – that one is productive and can get many things done at once. But I believe, multi-tasking isn’t always great. When you try to do too much at once, you [...]

As the Winter Olympics nears, I have been anxiously awaiting to see what Lululemon had in store for the Olympics. If you didn’t know, Lulu is headquartered in Vancouver, BC so I knew that they had to have something great planned to celebrate the Olympics being in Vancouver. I’ve been so anxious that I’ve been [...]

Wednesday night means a Tattersols workout (running club). When I got home from work, I plopped down on my couch to watch the World Series and inhaled a bowl of Erin Baker’s Double Dark Chocolate Chunk granola. I was so tempted to blow-off run club and just lie there all tonight. I just wasn’t feeling [...]

Its been a really busy week and I haven’t blogged at all, so before I take off to Vegas for the weekend, I thought I’d write a quick post. I’m not a big Halloween person. My friends will vouch for this. When they were all dressing up as french maids and genies, I would always [...]

When I started training for my first half-marathon, my cousin Michi, an avid runner, told me, “Whatever you do, don’t stop.” So whenever I’m out on a run, I always hear her voice saying this to me and I have always listened. Until yesterday. I set out to run seven miles, my normal weekend distance [...]

Several months ago I received an Athleta catalog in the mail. I had never heard of Athleta and till this day, have no idea how I got the catalog. Nevertheless, I thought it had really cute workout and swimwear. I meant to order a few items from it but never did. Fastforward to last Friday [...]
