Yoga & Pancakes
I find that running 3 days in a row is not the best for my body so this morning I woke up and knew it would be a yoga day. Exercise TV is a great way to add variety to your fitness routine. This morning I discovered Jillian Michael’s Yoga Meltdown.
(source)Today I started out with the Level 1 option which was a great 30 minute workout. Check out Exercise TV’s description:
Level 1 workout focuses on quick flowing yoga sequences to burn mega calories. Then progress to Level 2 which adds twists and balance poses for an even greater burn.
After my workout I decided it was time for Sunday pancakes. I apologize that they did not last long enough for a photo, but they were so fantastic. Today, I used a blend of equal parts Spelt, Brown Rice and Coconut flours. I had to add a little more liquid to the mix so I opted to use a little coconut water and I think that plus the added Coconut flour made the difference. Delish! With the pancakes I tried my first Vega Shake & Go Smoothie. I’ve heard great things about the product and since I have used other Vega products I wanted to give this a try too.
Love It! Here is what Sequel Naturals say on their website:
Vega Shake & Go Smoothie is a delicious, healthy, plant-based beverage ideal for the entire family. Packed full of nutrients including protein, fibre, Omega-3, probiotics and greens, it combines whole food goodness with fast food convenience. • Two servings of veggies • 2500 mg Omega-3-6-9 • 11 g complete protein • Only 100 calories • 1 billion probiotics cultures
Women’s Running magazine always ends with a page which is a reflection of why a certain runner chooses to run. I find these pages both motivating and inspiring.
It got me thinking, why do I run? I’ve been running for so long and through out the years I am sure the reason why has changed many times. Why Do I Run? I run for the experience. I enjoy to the sounds, smells and sights and I believe running makes me a stronger, confident women which makes me a better wife, daughter, doggie mom and friend.
My Question To You - Why do you run?

OMG, I can’t believe that I forgot to comment on my thoughts on the workout…guess those pancakes got me all in a dizzy.
The workout was good. It was not a relaxing yoga routine because all poses were held or transitioned into working the muscles more than stretching. Actually, when I woke up the next morning my quads were a little tender. Overall, it was a fun and rewarding time spent but not the yoga you want if you want that long lean stretched feeling the next day.

I don’t do too well with three straight days of running either. Yoga is a must!
I feel like I run for so many different reasons. Ultimately, I just love how running makes me feel – mind and body.

Kris, I loved it! I have not tried the Vanilla Almond yet, but guessing it will be just as yummy.
