How I did it
How to try Hatha Yoga
It took me
13 years
It made me
Peaceful

How I did it: I've been practicing yoga on and off since age 15, but in 2011, I found an instructor that shed a different light, and I've become a hardcore yogi since. Yin, Bikram, Hatha, Hot, Vinyasa, Ashtanga... Even laughing yoga! I took a yoga retreat with indigoliquidd last summer, and have every intention of dragging her to yoga during our 1/2 marathon week this summer! ;)Yoga isn't just stretching or poses, as people think. It's a lifestyle… Read how I did it…

How to run the Fort Walton Beach Color Me Cinco 5k in 30 minutes or less on 5/5/2013
It took me
1 day
It made me
Perky

How I did it: I have no idea what my time was yet, but I ran this with my old trainer, and we should have won an award for "most enthusiastic!" Haha.   Read how I did it…

How to party like a leprechaun at McGuire's 36th annual 5k
It took me
1 day
It made me
Amused!!

How I did it: I've heard sooo many stories about this event - can't even call it a "race" because it's really a HUGE party!!!! Seriously... 16,000 people, dressed in crazy attire, galavanting around town, and drinking Irish Wakes after. AWESOME!!!! If you're ever in the Pensacola, FL area during March, I highly recommend this event, even if you aren't a runner. I actually ran this for fun, not worried about my time and ended up beating my last rac… Read how I did it…

8 days...

And guess what? I don’t miss it! :)

I do, however, miss running my photography page.

So I’m thinking I’m going to make a photographers profile, change the moderator on my fan page and keep my personal page deactivated (once my 2 weeks is up if course ;) )

successfully run the Rock 'n' Roll Chicago Half Marathon on July 21, 2013 (read all 7 entries…)
Training: Week 4

Projection: 23 miles
Completed:

Well, my nephew was sick with a stomach bug this weekend, and of course! Tali and I caught it. :/ So we spent Monday and Tuesday puny and puking, not to be vulgar ;)

Monday: sick
Tuesday: sick
Wednesday: 4 miles
Thursday: 4 miles
Friday: yoga
Saturday: 7 miles
Sunday: 4 miles

So far, I’ve not accomplished fitting 4 running days into my weeks. It’s difficult to squeeze distance running, lifting and my yoga practice all into a mere 7 days. So I’m doing the best I can and not looking back :) I figure, as long as I get my long run in each week, then my training will go as planned.

Volunteer at a cancer ward (read all 2 entries…)
It's time!

So, I’ve done a little research, none extensive enough to make a decision, just yet. But I’m considering doing this with a concentration on women.

I’m not certain I can handle the children’s sector, so I thought I’d start with women, and see where it takes me. I’m moving to Chicago it 2 weeks, so I know I’ll have every opportunity to check this goal off and really make a difference.
