Yoga at the Van Gogh Exhibit

 Awhile back, I dragged my hubby to the Van Gogh exhibit and we had such a great time. I’ll post some pics, but it won’t give you even half the idea of what the show is like. And it is a show. The pictures move and change and there is a musical component as well! 

Last month, I found out that they were having yoga in the exhibit four mornings a week! Omg! Obviously I had to go back! My friend Tricia was supposed to join me, but she got stuck in Florida, so my friend Sara took her ticket!

I took some of the pics during yoga and some after. For the yoga class, which was 35 minutes long (the length of the show), they turned the music down for a more zen experience. Afterwards, we were invited to stay and see the show again on all its glory, at full volume. It was wonderful! 

Since the experience was sponsored by Lifeway Kefir, we got some swag and some samples on the way out. 

There’s also a pic of Charlotte, which I took right before getting in my car to come home. I love how close I live to the city!

My 10 Year Runaversary

 Wow! Today marks ten years since I started running. I started with a simple Couch to 5k, and was about to do a couch to 10k when a friend convinced me to run my first half. 68 half marathons and 4 full marathons later, I’m still plugging along!

I wanted to do something fun to commemorate the occasion, but with my stupid knees and the fact that we had tornado watches all day, I decided to just stick with a two miles run and be happy that I didn’t end up in Oz!

How many years have you been running?

Monthly Exercise Challenges

 I used to do monthly challenges all the time. You know the ones: push-ups and squats, or planking, or crunches, or whatever. They were a great motivator! The page I used to get them from stopped making them and I got out of the habit.

Help me out, people! Do you know of any great monthly challenges? Bonus points if it’s Peloton related!

I found this upper body challenge using Tunde’s arm workouts, so I’m doing it for September!

I especially love when I can print them out or when they have cute graphics that I can check off! 

Are you doing any fun monthly challenges?

Holy Virtual Race, Batman!

 I received entry into the DC Batman Virtual 10k as part of being a BibRave Pro. (Ambassador) check out BibRave.com to find and write race reviews!

There are probably 20 blogs with that same title, but how can you run a Batman themed virtual race and not use that at least 100 times? 

Next month I will be running the DC Batman Virtual Race. I worked it in on a day that I’m already running 7 miles, since I’m training for a few half marathons between October and February. 

I have a few fun things up my sleeve for my running besties that will be running this with me……

Photo props, of course! 

Breakfast with mimosas, while we watch one of my all time favorite Batman movies….

And, of course, the swag! They even included an extra item not pictured below, which I can’t wait to use!

So much fun to be had!
