Sweaty Saturday

A Yoga + Dinner Date
January 11, 2012 { 16 comments }It’s Wednesday, it’s raining and I’m kind of grumpy. Despite multiple cups of coffee, crawling back into bed seems like a much better option than braving the day.

Restorative
July 19, 2011 { 20 comments }The past few weeks have been a little off with regards to my workouts due to my hamstring injury. Rather than continuing to push through increasingly worsening pain, I’ve backed off of it to allow for recovery and healing. I haven’t run in 17 days (who’s counting?) and I’ve scaled back my yoga practice. Absent [...]
