I consistently walk the line between flexible and steadfast in keeping to my training plans. I'm a firm believer in listening to my body, and there are some days I need to change up my plans to do what it needs. I blame yoga for this. I've had a number of instructors that start off …

Race Review & Pictures: The Color Run Nashville
A few months ago a friend texted me to ask if I wanted to do The Color Run. It was a no-brainer, as I'd missed doing one in Hartford last summer, and it was something fun to add to my Spring. Over the course of the last few weeks I got really excited, and started …

Flexibility, two ways
