Colorado 2012 Tough Mudder Race Report
Posted on June 30, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in My fitness journeyShare I am going to assume that if you found this worth reading, you know what the Tough Mudder is. In short, it is a 10-12 mile trail run with obstacles along the course. It’s a big organized event (I’d say race, but there’s no timing) with multiple instances across the US, as well as [...]

Why I’m exited about being sore
Posted on April 9, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in My fitness journeyShare Yesterday my husband and I and I started our second week of the second phase of P90X2. This is the first week after our first rest week. And I know I brought it. How do I know? Because even though we worked out during late afternoon, I woke up already sore. My abs hurt. (Darn [...]

Posted on April 7, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in Eating healthy, Making it happen, My fitness journey, RecipesShare A while back, I saw that a recipe-related service called Say Mmm had been linked to Evernote. I took a quick look, thought it could be useful, and archived the thought away for later. With the three-day weekend due to Easter, later arrived yesterday and today. I have now checked Say Mmm out and [...]

Sometimes, you get lucky when eating out
Posted on March 1, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in Eating healthy, Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare I messed up my lunch planning yesterday and finally ran out of freezer finds. This meant venturing forth into the company cafeteria in search of something satisfying, always a bit treacherous like any eating out. When in this situation, I usually get sushi. The rice is white, but at least it’s tasty and it [...]

The power of agency and choice
Posted on January 24, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare I chose not to work out yesterday because I had to work on something important. And when I say I chose, I mean I saw the time creep up toward the only time I knew I’d get the workout done in, and I chose not to go and to continue working on the data [...]

I love Boulder County
Posted on January 21, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in My fitness journeyShare Just popped in at Whole Foods while we were in Boulder anyway. Stocked up on tempeh, freshly ground salt-free peanut butter, and apple sauce and had lunch. Lunch at Whole Foods is always a delight. I inevitably feel like I want to eat everything in the food bar! So many delicious-looking things, and a [...]

TurboFire makes me smile
Posted on January 17, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in Making it happen, My fitness journeyShare Today’s workout was TurboFire 45 EZ. Don’t let the EZ fool you. It’s not easy. I love the P90X cardio DVDs. Still, as I’ve improved my cardiovascular fitness with Insanity and the blue intermediate plan from Jack Daniels’ Running Formula, they just don’t exhaust me like they used to. That means it’s time to [...]

Why being sore makes me smile
Posted on January 17, 2012 by FitYoginiRunner in My fitness journeyShare It snowed last night when I was driving home. I think it kept snowing at least part of the night. When I was leaving for work this morning and went to scrape off my car in the beautiful snowy winter morning, my pecs hurt when it was time to scrape ice off of my [...]
