We go a little crazy over…

I would love to get into yoga. I think it’d be a great stress reliever and good for my body.

I like yoga but need a good teacher. There is one at my gym who will literally lose her train of thought and then the left side doesn’t get the same flow as the right. It drives me nuts!! I am going on a 90 minute bike ride through DC today to explore a new running path for when I can run again!

I’ve only tried yoga once in college… I think I need to give it another shot!
I’m running my first full marathon on October 20, I’m excited and nervous!

I really like Yoga but I am bad about making the time to do it. Sometimes I will go to a class, sometimes I will do it at home. I guess I don’t have the patience for it very often, although I am sure I would be a lot more patient person IF I made the time for more Yoga.

I’m glad to know I am not the only one Target robs on a regular basis.

Not a huge fan of yoga but if I am going to do it I prefer hot yoga. I really should do it more often for the stretching benefits. Today’s workout is 12km run and some upper body work. Janae , you truly inspire me with your positive attitude:)

I am pretty sure that picture is Brooke’s ‘cheesin’ face, while keeping a close watch on mommy and that baby, to make sure he doesn’t try anything. That’s how I look when I’m cheesin ;)

I like yoga, I do Bikram, which is 90 minutes and very hot, but it’s addictive. And I am hoping it will keep me lose for BERLIN! Sept. 29, going for a PR!

I like yoga sometimes and only if I take it as a class. I rarely ever do it on my own. I only stretch on my own because I’m injury prone.

I’m semi-training for the Hartford Marathon in October. We’ll see if that pans out.

Brooker looks like a combination of jealousy and “Ooooh, it’s a baby!!” :) Super cute.

I like yoga. I always forget how much I like it when I get out of the habit of doing it. I miss actual yoga classes, but I’ve found that YouTube videos are almost as good! It’s not as good as running (clearly) but I think it helps me stay focused on being a healthy runner and balanced overall- plus the injury-prevention benefits are great!

I’m running a half marathon in October with my husband, and hopefully our FIRST EVER marathon in March, right before our 1 year anniversary :)

I’m hoping to run 5 miles after work, but I forgot about the rain… We will see how this works out! If not, then I’ll do 45 minutes of Pilates and half an hour of yoga.

I try to like yoga but it just doesn’t stick. When I go I like it but I’m never motivated to stay consistent with it.

Two fall races on deck: NWM 1/2 and Disney World Half.

Workout today: 3miles on the treadmill before the first day of classes. I like being able to tell my students who complain about taking an early morning class, “It’s okay, you could be me and have had to get up at 5am so you could run — miles before class. Now that’s early!” The look on their faces is always hilarious!

I used to do yoga a lot and felt so good after. My gym mainly has hot yoga so I don’t really do it.

I know yoga is good for me…. but I always opt to do some other kind of workout instead. whoops!

Nights are always the hardest but they will get easier. Just keep yourself busy!

That picture of you is so cute. I wish I lived in Utah so we could be friends!!!!

I just bought a ton of peaches on Sunday and had 2 for breakfast today ;)
I haven’t tried yoga, I’m intimidated to go when I don’t know the poses! But, today’s workout was a Pure Barre class – LOOOVEE these, you should definitely try one if you can! Running the BAA Half in October :)

That photo at the end is adorable. I love yoga. I havent been since i got into barre workouts (i mean, i can only afford so many studio memberships) but every now and then i really want to take a class again.

I go through phases with yoga sometimes I love it then I won’t do it again for months because I can’t get into it.

Today is an easy run though I’m not exactly sure how far that means I will go.

I ran this morning and plan on doing yoga tonight. I love yoga and think night time is the best time to do it!

I love yoga! Before I was pregnant I loved sweaty power flow classes that moved lots but in the last 3 months I have fallen in love with prenatal yoga – which is still a challenge!
No fall races for me this year, but next year you betcha :)
I am going to do the Tracey Anderson Pregnancy Project DVD at home tonight.

Love yoga, in fact I’m getting ready to head to a class right now. I think it’s a great compliment to running and helps to build a lot of strength and flexibility

I’ve tried yoga but I really suck at it. My instructors always ask me if I’m a runner. I am really good at child’s pose and the nap thing at the end though.
I’ve registered for two halfs (halves?) this fall – one to race and one to have fun. The fun one is a backup in case I don’t PR.
Getting ready to head to gym for a barbell class, followed by a quick three miles on the treadmill.
As always, Brooke is completely adorable.

“I like to come home, talk to one of my brothers on the phone and eat ice cream out of the carton while my mom walks in and takes a picture of me.” –> hahaha. Sounds like a great evening to me!

I HATE yoga. I like the nice-calm-stretching yoga to an extent, but hot yoga? Never again. I tried so hard to like it, but after a few classes I gave up and just admitted it wasn’t for me.

I really like yoga, and I always forget how much until I start doing it again! I have a couple of apps on my phone that are pretty good (yoga studio and daily yoga), but I’ve done the you tube yoga thing too.

Not a fan of yoga.
I am running the kansas city marathon on oct 19th!!!!!! I am really training for 3:15! Writing makes me excited and nervous! Today’s workout is 8 easy miles. I wish I had someone to run with here!
I am going to start to try to run without headphones…it will be hard. I like to listen to podcasts and some really good music done by a church that I love. Some marathons have a rule that you cannot be listening to something if you want to place. we shall see how this goes!

Hey, miss. Sorry I didn’t stop by to say hi– when I realized it was the little miss’s birthday, I didn’t want to intrude. I need to find a good yoga workout to do at home (one that isn’t so much a workout as it is a cupcake for my stressed out body) because my hip flexors have been hurting like whoa after babe #3 (really, just the right one. Which is weird.).

Doing the Kansas City half in October. I tried training for a full last year and it made me too sleepy. Someday I’ll be hardcore enough to give it another shot!

To be honest, I’ve never really been a fan of yoga. Granted, I’ve only tried it once, but I did it during a really hard time in my life, and I found that it took all of my energy not to think about everything that was going on. It was too quiet and too peaceful for me at a time when I couldn’t be that quiet and peaceful. I would like to give it another try though. Now Pilates? Pilates is my class.

Running the Niagara Falls 10K in October!

P.S. I think Brooke is definitely trying to figure out why you’re holding another baby! Love that face.

Good morning! I absolutely love yoga. I only get to a class about once a week but try to do my own practice at home another night or two. I think it helps a ton for tight runners and strengthening, especially when I don’t belong to a gym! I’m running the Marine Corps marathon this fall and had an awesome progression run this morning. I’m more of a 3:50 marathoner than sub 3 (I wish – you inspire me!!) so hitting splits around 8:15 was a great success for me. I’ll take it! Have a wonderful day with your family.

I love Bikram yoga…but I go through stages where I go as much as possible and then I don’t go at all for a while. I’m glad you found something to help.

I am part of the Blogger Event at the RW Half and Festival! I’ll see you there! I’m doing the hat trick :)

I ran hard the past few days, so today will be a body pump day.

I’m running my first half marathon in September! Its the Women’s Half and I couldn’t be more excited! Im part of a training group and we are doing a long run on Saturday and it will be my first time running with GU. I’ve never tried it, but know its so important on long runs. I’m going to try the Strawberry Banana GU, although I know more people like Chocolate. Wish me luck!!

Run Happy!

I do yoga once a week. It is vinyasa yoga, and is very powerful and athletic. I kind of dread it beforehand. I do it on Tuesday nights, so I am already thinking about the half-pigeon I will have to work my piriformis into. Even though I always dread it a little, I am always glad I went. I sweat for over an hour, you can’t really think while you are doing yoga so my brain gets a rest, and I sleep like a baby after. I highly recommend it, especially for runners with tight hips (me!).

LoveLoveLove Yoga!

6 miles @5am. It was coolish and foggy.

I’m doing a late Fall marathon. Tucson, the first weekend in December. I’m so excited for this marathon. It will be my 14th and I feel like I haven’t been this focused or excited for a marathon in a while. I have BIG goals :)

Keep runnin’ Janae!

I like yoga! I used to hate it because I couldn’t stop my mind from racing but now I love it, it helps center me!

I love yoga but hate taking the time to do it because I always get interrupted by someone.
I’m running the Philly Rock-n-Roll and I am so excited! The only problem is that it is non-refundable, and my speedwork has been replaced with a rest day because I have excruciating pain on the inside of both my knees whenever I run, and they are tender when I walk or sit. (Any clue what that could be?)

The 6 week old is adorable and so is Brookers. (Or Bookers? ;)

Target robs me every single time I go there! And I keep going back for more! ;-) My daughter’s first birthday party is next weekend– I’m very nervous, haha!

I like yoga when I’m going through anything tough or am super stressed/overwhelmed. There’s something calming about being by yourself, focusing on something as simple as breathing and just relaxing. Happy you found something to soothe you these days!

I am not a huge fan of yoga unless it is in a baking hot room but I’m trying to make myself be more into it because I know my body needs it! I did a shakeout 3 miles this morning as part of my training for the Bull City Race Fest half marathon in October – a race that ends with a food truck rodeo! Can you say amazing?!

I love yoga! I just started practicing in June and live the physical and mental benefits.

I love yoga after I do it but it is something that I have to force myself to go to. Speaking of which, yoga and cross training is on the schedule today. Tuesday is the day of the week that I have to force myself to workout. Would much rather be running.

i’ve definitely been known to break down crying at the end of a good yoga sesh. enjoy the peace, my dear! namaste xx

I try to make myself like yoga because I’m so non-flexible… but I just don’t dig it…maybe if I were flexible I’d like it? ;)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOGA! I started it because I had IT Band pain from running. Then I got hooked. I am not sure if it is the extra stretching or learning to stand up straight or what but after doing it for a year I went from 5’6 to 5’7! Craziness! Target is such a money taker. I don’t know how they do it! Maybe because the prices are low-ish and the vibe is the opposite of WalMart so strolling the aisles is fun? IDK. Using a bowl with ice cream is a waste! I will look down at ice cream eaten out of a bowl and think that little trace of ice cream could be in my belly if I ate it straight from the carton! Ha ha! :)

I’m happy to hear that yoga is helping you out! And of course, family time and ice cream is always a good way to end the night too ;-) I like yoga, but I haven’t been to an actual class in ages!

Those peaches look delicious. I want one. And I want that salad. You just made me decide to go to Panera for lunch and to get one if their awesome salads. I live the picture of Brooke reading in the shopping cart. I am preparing for a party this weekend too. My daughters 8th!!! 22 little girls coming over!
Have a wonderful day Janae!
Btw, Utah looks so gorgeous. Every time you post a pic, I get do jealous and want to be there.

I love yoga! What class do you go to, I’ve been looking for one to go to. Also I just like yoga because its so relaxing to me, and yet so fun :)

I really love yoga because it is one of the only things that clears my mind. I’m so happy that you are trying that! And I’m so glad you are surrounding yourself with amazing people!

If I had to imagine my personal hell it would be doing yoga there. I really dislike yoga…I think it’s because I can’t think about nothing and just relax, I’m already onto the next thing I need to do after class. I should really work on that.

Isn’t it amazing how relaxed yoga can make you feel? I think if it is something you dont enjoy you havent found your yoga nitch! There is a yoga for every person in my opinion ;-) Not that I’m a yoga expert or anything!

OH yoga. I want to love yoga, really I do… but I just can’t. I totally have ADD and it is harder for me then running a marathon! lol.
I should try it again, but its hard to find a class that fits into my schedule.
Ice cream out of the carton is the only way to eat ice cream. It really does taste better!

Yes to yoga … all kinds. I am SO GLAD you are able to do these things you love. I am in love with your family for being so loving and so solid for you :)

And…PEACHES!!!!! My family’s favorite :)

LOVE yoga!!! While injured I was practicing 4-5 times a week and now miss having the time to fit it in.

I’m applying for St. George for 2014 in the Spring- hoping I have lottery luck since I got into NY on my first try for 2013, even with all the guaranteed Hurricane Sandy runners.

My workout is 3 easy miles. Today is my first day of training for my first half-marathon!!! The Dallas Half-Marathon in December :)

You definitely look so relaxed in your after yoga photo! What a blessing to be surrounded by such close family and friends for both you and Brooke right now. I love that you are so focused on doing all of the things you love! Your spirit shines through in your pictures!!

I want to like yoga, I really do, but I haven’t found one yet that I love!

I have a fall half marathon, the San Jose RNR. Today’s run will be speed work. Ugh!!

Have fun plnning Brooke’s birthday party!

i love yoga! i think it’s so great that you’re doing a class in the evenings :) i also love videos online and have one i like to do- it’s called runner’s yoga or something like that.

I’m running the Baltimore half! supposed to be very hilly… we’ll see how that goes! i’m also trying to convince my friends to start running and we’ll take a lil day trip to Annapolis for the Annapolis half which I hear is just beautiful.

I’m going to run 4 miles today- maybe 2 on the treadmill and a campus loop or something like that.

Today I ran on the treadmill for the first time in ages and actually really enjoyed it. Then I foam rolled and enjoyed that a lot less. super sore muscles!

I sometimes like yoga. I have to be in the mood for it and go on streaks where I am obsessed with going to class and streaks where I can’t bear the thought of it.

The hubs and I are training for a fall 1/2 marathon and we’re pretty excited about that!

I have tried yoga and just can’t bring myself to enjoy it for any length of time. I like the stretching but I must be too ADD to focus on it for that long.

Doing the Big Cottonwood Marathon in September and am pumped for it this year. Last year it was so beautiful and the perfect fall day, but the course has changed this year and I get a glorious 17 canyon miles in… Woot! Can’t wait!

I love Yoga, but am way too competitive to enjoy it properly. I spend most of the class checking everyone else out and making sure that they aren’t better than me- which I kind of think defeats the purpose :)

LOVE yoga! I’m terrible at it (so inflexible!) but I still love it.

I am running my FIRST marathon ever in October- exactly two months from today! I’m totally overwhelmed/terrified.

Today’s workout was 4 miles, this week is a dial back week because I’m running a half on Sunday.

Night time can be the toughest time. You’re so smart to go to yoga then! That’s such a good & relaxing idea! The ice cream has to make it 10 times better too! ;)

I’m dying for one of those big peaches!

Love love LOVE yoga….it’s good in so many way…strength, core, focus…and mental sharpness. I hope you enjoy!

P.S. Can you send me a few of those peaches…they look AMAZE!

I have never tried yoga but i think i would get bored. I have been looking for a fall race all day but most around my parts are on sunday… Ill keep looking though. We actually just ran our first 1/2 on the 4th of July it was hard work!

I loovvvee yoga! I even have aspirations of becoming a yoga instructor one of these days!
My fall races are:
The Nashville Women’s Half
The Middle Half (a small race that sold out in 6 hours)
Ragnar Tennessee

Hi Janae!
I really really like yoga – but when you are training for a race, it is hard to do anything but running or have motivation to fit in another workout.
My fall race is marathon #4 – Sioux Falls Marathon on 9/8. Trying to BQ for the 3rd time…..
I am following the Hanson’s Plan for this marathon so this morning’s workout was 4 x 1.5 miles with warm up and cool down. Total 11.5 miles before work this morning. I will not be doing yoga tonight – more like getting my kids ready for first day of school and eating frozen yogurt.
Have a great day!

I’ve been wanting to try yoga, but haven’t done it yet. No races on the horizon for me right now… I was planning to complete (aka jog some but mostly walk) a half in November, but plans had to change :(

And this morning’s workout? Crossfit!

Also, have you ever grilled peaches? If not, DO IT. It will change everything!

I really want to like yoga but after 2 classes I get bored.

Im doing the Philly Rock n Roll 1/2 then doing the 10K of the Runners World Series. I too hope to see you and the other gals there!

Today I ran 6 hard miles on the treadmill..ugh. I am not a fan of the treadmill but I had to run too early to run safely outdoors.

Not a fan of yoga, but I always wanted to like it. I hear it’s SO relaxing & calming for your mind. Maybe I should try it again…or actually go to a yoga class instead of trying to do a video while Gabriella laughs at me in the background ;)
Brooke’s dress- LOVE.

I’m running the Chicago Marathon in October!! Fall races are so unpredictable with weather… I think my workout today is going to be an easy 5-6 miles.

I’m currently training for two marathons (and a bunch of halts); the Half Moon Bay International Marathon and the California International Marathon. So excited for both!

I like yoga, but never seem to fit it into my schedule. Must work on that.

I like yoga, except for the fact that I have a cyst in my wrist which acts up sometimes and makes it difficult to do certain poses and sun salutations! I am SO glad that you have so many friends to help you through this time! :)

ALSO I am SO jealous that you can get that kind of ice cream! Red Velvet is my favorite and a little bit of jealously pops up when you post that ice cream! I can’t find it here in SoCal!

Holy peaches, Batman! And I love the pic with Brooke’s “suspicious” face. So CUTE!

I’ve been doing yoga lately, once a week, but I wouldn’t call myself a “fan” per se. I definitely only do it to try to increase my flexibility. You wouldn’t believe how inflexible I am!

I have 5 races, 5 weekends in a row. They’re all only 5Ks though – but it’s going to mess up my 10K training. I just plan on picking back up in mid-October when all the races are done.

Today – 3 mi run followed by legs

I love yoga, you are so relaxed after finishing, haven’t done it in a while though. I am doing a race in november. :)

Yum! Utah peaches are the best!

I love yoga! I have a really good teacher and she is always emphasising the importance of yoga for runners. Also yoga makes me feel a little less crazy if I’m having a rough time. Like running!

Doing a 10km in November. It’s the ‘Movember’ one in Dublin, Ireland. Going to look for one sooner too.

Today is rest day :)

I am running the Portland Marathon in October. I haven’t signed up for anything besides that. I have my eyes set on Ironman in the Spring (have NOT committed yet!) so I am going to focus on other types of training in addition (originally wrote addiction) to running. I need to cross train my body in the worst way, and I can’t make myself do it consistently so I need to do something besides road races.

I actually LOVE yoga, but I rarely do it anymore. My favorite studio is too expensive for me right now, and I just… haven’t been doing anything besides running. I am in a slump and need to get out of it.

I am so very glad that your support system is really amazing. I know that it doesn’t make everything better, I know it doesn’t take the pain away, but it really makes all the difference to have a soft place to fall. I think you are doing really amazing, and I need to take some tips from you and just quite stewing in my own funk. My divorce has made me so depressed, and I just need to get out there and do things whether I want to or not.

((hugs))
