Welcome friends!

This is a forum to share tips, advice and ideas about nutrition, fitness and well-being. I also invite you to join me in my yoga practice at 24 Hour Fitness. It is an 1 hour vinyasa yoga class, also called "flow" yoga. The poses move fluidly, the breath linking each pose to the next. This practice will create strength, flexibilty, endurance and balance leading to a sense of wellness and mental awareness. I hope to see you there! The class schedule will be updated on the blog as it changes.

Monday - Cycle Boot camp + Run
Tuesday - Yoga (I'm teaching at the down town club if you want to join)
Wednesday - Run + Swim
Thursday - Yoga (I'm teaching at the Northgate club if you want to join)
Friday - Long run
Saturday - Bike
Sunday - Yoga + Swim

If anyone is interested in joining me for one of these workouts let me know!

Its the season for training!

Spring has arrived! Today the sun is finally shining in Seattle. Now is the time many people start training for half and full marathons, dashes, bike trips, triathalons, you name it! And with all that training brings up the question - What should I eat to help my body preform better and recover faster from the demand of training?

This blog entery from an endurance athlete and RD answers that question. It is full out sound advice and one of the most straightforward and simple summaries that I have seen in a while -

Technology inspiring you to get fit!

I recently down loaded a great new app for my iphone called RunKeeper. It maps your route, as well as giving you updates on time, speed and distance. My favorite feature is that can access your camera within the app to snap pics along your run!

Here are some fun photos Mark and I took on our foggy run yesterday morning -








This app is free for the month of January. After that is will cost you some $$
