For the second year in a row, I spent Thanksgiving Morning running a half marathon, while my 2 year old daughter ran a 50 yard dash, in Atlanta. The half marathon was the final race in the Triple Peach Race Series, consisting of the Peachtree Road Race- the largest 10K in the world, the Atlanta 10 Miler, and the Atlanta Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon. I committed to this series when I entered a lottery sponsored by The Atlanta Track Club.
For the second year in a row, I spent Thanksgiving Evening recovering from a race for which I was ill-prepared. While this was my 15th half, it was my fourth since having my child, and my first since turning 40. I barely trained for it. In fact, I haven't properly trained for a distance race in quite some time. I want to continue to run... especially considering I made my mother run her first half at 62, and her second a year later. I don't want to hurt as much during and after my runs. It made me think about that one time that I wrote about how much Bikram yoga complements (my) running.
The Dichotomous Union of Running and Bikram Yoga
Then I realized that I needed to have all of my articles in one place, in this new, but very familiar life, so here they are:
