Runners Love Yoga

Let yoga help you to be a faster, more efficient, and less injured runner! www.runnersloveyoga.tv Do you love running? Then, you should love yoga!

Yoga is an amazing complement to running, and can make you a more efficient, faster, and stronger athlete—in addition to helping prevent injuries. By taking a time-out from competition to direct attention to your breathing and body, yoga can help with stress relief, as well as give you a better awareness of how your body is responding to practices, workouts, and competition.

Next time you do legs up the wall, try adding in this variation! This pigeon/legs up the wall combo is a great way to more deeply target hips while *also* relaxing. This pose can look and feel very different both person to person and side to side; definitely don’t be afraid to adjust this one by sliding your torso further from the wall (less intense) OR by planting your foot further up the wall (less intense).

Come run the Brentwood Firecracker 5k with me! With the 9am start, this one is always pretty steamy!!!!

I’ve raced this one probably 15 times at a minimum so it’s firmly part of the 4th of July tradition at this point! Only 363 days until the next 4th of July!!

Is it even the 4th of July without your hometown 5k?! Love being back in Pittsburgh for the Brentwood Firecracker 5k which I’ve calculated that I’ve raced approximately 15 times!

6th woman in a more conservatively paced 19:42 because honestly this felt like racing in an oven! 🥵 VERY HOT! Also THANK YOU to anyone with a sprinkler or hose along the course—there were way more of you this year and every “water feature” along the course was much needed and appreciated! Also very excited about the postrace popsicle and cooling tent!!

Having a great day!! I freaking love the 4th of July. This holiday is so chill and has all my favorite things: Pittsburgh, a race with tons of people I know, a postrace stop at Mediterra, then straight to the pool! Wishing you all a wonderful, relaxing holiday with family and friends! ❤️💙

Running into the homestretch of the Furever Homes 8k benefitting Heritage Humane Society two weekends ago! This one came on the tail end of 2 consecutive days over 100 degrees F for the high so I knew it would be a hot one, but this course featured (very thankfully!) a ton of shade through the Greensprings Trail near Jamestown High School. This was a really neat fine crushed gravel path through the woods with lots of turns and several wooden bridges too—very scenic and a great distraction from the humidity! Will definitely do this one again! Local races (especially benefitting animals!!) are the best races.

A week of running as a small business owner!

Why is this post last Wednesday to yesterday? 🤣 Honestly because I didn’t have time this Monday to do to the usual Monday to Sunday even though that’s how I usually count my running volume! (I was getting ready for someone to ask me if I start my week mid-week!! Does anybody do Sunday to Saturday? I’ve done Monday to Sunday for forever, which is super helpful since my long runs can be either weekend day!!!) This mid-week to mid-week is kind of interesting though because it’s easier to see my lower mileage days before/after the long run and racing, so maybe I’ll do this again like this!

Fun things:
👯‍♀️ any runs over 3 miles are with friends. It’s how I run over 3 miles, not even joking. 😂
🏊‍♀️ swims not pictured!
🥵 Thursday and Friday were legit 100 DEGREES F so it was an easy call to not run much those days!!
🎉 Last week, Monday to Sunday (lol) was my first week over 30 miles in a couple months!! (As you can see I’m doing a lot of other moving, so likely keeping my mileage where it’s been in the 20s or low 30s for now!)

Summer may be warm, but honest to God, I love summer training. This season is just so beautiful and energizing!!

What’s better than winning?! TWINNING and winning!!! Had a blast at the Heritage Humane Heritage Humane Society Furever Home 8k this morning going 1-2 with my friend Emily in some extremely hot and humid conditions!! This was a super fun course partly on the Green Springs trail system which I had never run before! And truly, it was HOT. It has been 100 degrees F (37 degrees C) here in Charlottesville and Williamsburg the past two days and I was very grateful for the shade along the course!

Have been wanting to do this one for a while because of the animal rescue component and really enjoyed the adorable adoptable puppy at the starting line who was just the cutest little potato!! Also just had a blast on this mini one day vacay with Phillip in Williamsburg!! Just nice to get away for a little escape!!

Outfits!!: Kella Pocket Crop Top in bubblegum pink + Madison Pocket Shorts in smoked violet colorblock! 👯‍♀️ 🎉

5:01 and won the Bruce Barnes Mile this morning! Super fun to win this one again! Really close to cracking 5:00 but I will take it as I think I paced this one just right! As is now tradition, went blueberry picking postrace with Phillip and my running friend Maggie! Great June morning with sunshine, beautiful scenery, running, and running friends.

The kitties were excited about the blueberries; Boo Boo likes to eat them! 😆
