I Like My Yoga Peppy...

1/28/2014

So last night I went ahead and made the decision to finally activate my 30 Day membership to a new yoga studio in my neighborhood.

I know some studios complain about people who take advantage of introductory offers and jump around from studio to studio, but I actually think it's important to try different studios and see which one sutis you best.

And well, this new one may not be the best fit for me.

Because I like my yoga a little more upbeat.  Peppy, if you will.

Perhaps that's the inner cheerleader in me...

#runstreak continues!

So here's a little update on how things are going!

1) I've been pretty busy lately with all sorts of things going on. 

2) It's been bitter cold.  I'm from Michigan, so cold is something I thought I was acclimated to.  But here's the deal...  I moved DOWN SOUTH.  I had dreams of weather warm enough to allow for running whenever my heart desired without bundling up in multiple layers...

WRONG!

And to top it all of, my southern co-workers blame me for bringing the cold weather down with me!  Trust me, I would have rather left the cold behind in Michigan...  Is it spring yet?

3) Despite my hatred of the bitter cold and and my busy schedule...

THE RUNSTREAK CONTINUES!

Today is officially Day 24.  I've run at least one mile every day.  I haven't run much more than that lately because I've been busy, but I have the weekend wide open and I'm looking forward to some longer runs.  Hopefully the weather cooperates!

Anyways, this is just a quick update to let y'all know that things are going well and I'm still alive!

#runlove, y'all!

So one of the local running stores that I found, I apparently found a little too late. 

The store is called Run Franklin and unfortunately they're going out of business.  Bummer, but...  it does mean discounted shoe prices!

Weekly Update Number Two!

It's the 20th day of the new year and I'm still running!

I think I really like this whole starting a runstreak on the first day of a new year thing...  It's making it super easy to keep track of what day I'm on. 

And so without further ado...

The past week in running!

Please, ignore the dirty mirrors.  I left streaks when I wiped them down the other day.  I'm a minor failure at day-to-day housework.

Disregard that black cat.  They're bad luck?  Oops.  I own two.  This is not the point.

The point is the excitement, as evidenced by the rampant Miley Cyrus tongue I'm sporting.

And that excitement is because...  Drumroll please...

My name is Jessica. 

And I have an addiction to carbs.

There are support groups for this right? 

'Cause I am gonna need some serious help on this one.  Maybe like some sort of electric shock treatment or hypnosis?

Why must they be so tasty?!?!

#NoSafetyPins

So when I first started getting into the whole "twitter thing" (or as I like to call it, "the twitter"), what I really found fascinating was how much information there was out there on all these great different companies and products.

And one of the companies I cam across was X Racewear.  They had a unique product that, as someone who really enjoys obstacle course racing and mud runs (because, YES, they are different!) I thought was a genius idea.  their whole deal is they make clothes for running that have a special pocket designed to hold your race bib.  This way you don't have to worry about getting stabbed by a safety pin or losing your bib out on the course.

It was one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" kind of things.

Anyways, I promise you, I'm gonna go a full write up on BOTH the tank and the shorts that I have from them, because  they're fab and fit PERFECT... 

But for now do me two favors:

1) Check out their website to see all their sweet gear.

2) Click on the link below to vote for them to win on of six small business grants so they can continue to grow and develop great new products for those of us in the running community!

Oops...  My Bad...

This morning, while drinking my half-hot chocolate, half coffee plus creamer morning beverage, I read an article on The Huffington Post titled The Biggest Mistakes Women Make When Working Out. 

Go ahead.  Take a minute or two and read through it.

I'll still be here when you get back.  I can wait...

Are you back now?  Good.  Let's discuss what we've read.  I hope you paid attention, because there's a quiz at the end.

Just kidding.  Sorry, sometimes old habits from teaching die hard.  No quiz.  (Unless its a pop quiz!)

It was an interesting article and while their mistakes were valid points, it also gave me an idea about what MY most common mistakes when working out are...

So here it is!  An examination on the things that I know I could do better...

That First Step Out The Door...

Today was one of THOSE days. 

You know, the ones where nothing really went wrong and yet, nothing really went right either?
The days where you really don't want to do anything?

Except in my case, all I really wanted to do was eat a hamburger.
