On Sunday, April 14, I ran the NYRR More Magazine/Fitness Magazine Half Marathon in Central Park – my first post-baby #2 race at almost 4 months postpartum.  I knew I was in for a tough race because of the fact I’d only run 3 times in the 2 weeks prior to the race because of [Read On]

I have a new love

My instructor had us use the tennis ball for a special kind of stretch for our "sitting bones" at the beginning of class

I’ve always had a curiosity about trying yoga.  I’ve tried several DVDs at home, but I always get bored of them.  Plus, I want to make sure I’m actually doing the poses correctly.
