I am obsessed with reading race recaps of all stripes.
Tonight, I have five very different, yet very amazing recaps to share with you.
My Internet BFF Valerie ran Disney last weekend. She got swept, but holy shit did the girl put a lot of heart into it. Read this and tell me you don’t want to hug her.
Caitlin HTP ran an awesome 2:00 half just a few months post-baby!
And Julie ran an awesome 1:57!
Monica ran a 1:43!!
And Mary took second in her age group!
Your turn! Share a link to yours or another awesome race recap you’ve read lately.
Also: both my therapist and Alicia, whom I’ve talked to about anxiety because of her great post about anxiety, keep asking if I do yoga. OKAY LADIES, I GET IT. I need to do more yoga! While I’m going to try to make it to more classes, I am going to try to do some more at-home yoga, too. Tell me about your favorite SHORT (30 minutes or less) yoga podcasts/apps.
No idea why I chose Frank Sinatra lyrics to name my last post on this…
As I mentioned in my last post, I've really been going through it with headaches.…
(tw for diet culture talk—mostly how it's BS, but how it's affected me, too) This…
I have been thinking about this post for a while—on why diet culture is unhealthy…
I woke up this morning already feeling anxious. (Yay!) My standard iPhone alarm is set…
I read The Midnight Library over the weekend, and I need to talk about it.…

Pocket yoga is a great app. They have 5 different types of sequences and you can choose your level and length of time to do it for.
@Lauren: I use pocket yoga too; I think it does the job pretty well.
Here's some shameless self-promotion. Here's a recap from last year's Disney 1/2 (this year's full recap has yet to be written)! http://thisgirlrunstoeat.blogspot.com/2012/01/disney-world-half-marathon-recap.html
My goal this month is to do 20-min of pilates or yoga a day. Surprisingly I've found the workouts on my cable's on-demand fitness channel to be quite good. Sportskool "Yoga for Runners" is a 35-min workout that I do after my runs. It's been tremendously helpful.
iyoga premium is a simple app- you can select individual poses, routines, or make your own!
E-Hugs to Valerie! Amazing recaps!!
I love reading race recaps- thanks for the links!
I'm trying to get more into yoga. I can't offer an app or podcast, but Sage Rountree has an amazing yoga for athletes book. I http back there are a few sequences, so you can make to your session as long or as short as you want!
@Abby @ Change of Pace: that's supposed to say * in the back* ... darn autocorrect!
I am a runner and typically have never been a huge fan of yoga. However, I took advantage of a Gilt City deal and just tried out Bikram Yoga at their new Herald Square studio. I loved it! I felt the heat helped stretch and loosen out all the muscles - it was nothing like Vinyasa and I really enjoyed all the poses. I feel so refreshed now! I know its not at home yoga but would highly recommend it!
I do really like Bikram but sometimes have a hard time making it to class, which is why I was asking about the home yoga. DID NOT know about the Herald Square one!
Great recaps! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you asked the yoga question. I take a class one day a week and I was just thinking I need to supplement that at home...
Race recaps are awesome, some of them almost make me feel like I was there too! I don't know if end of last year can still be considered "lately" but, anyway, here's the recap of my latest half (and my current PR!): http://supergenericgirl.com/2012/11/29/adra-half-marathon-recap-the-last-minute-pr/
Thanks for the links!
Awesome, I have read 3 out of 5 of the recaps now I'm off to read the others. I'll leave you with my fun from my recent halfs.
