Because this blog is called “IronYogini”, I feel like I want to have a post here and there about what I’m up to fitness-wise. In the past it was all about my training and race reports. Road races, triathlons, Spartan races, figure competitions, etc. There will be more of that, don’t worry. But for now, […]

Workout Roundup: March 16th
Wow! What an interesting week it has been! I started off with gym workouts early on, but then the gym closed due to COVID-19 and I had to get creative with in-home workouts using dumbbells (I only have a pair of 10s right now) and resistance bands. And lots of walking. I’m trying to get […]
Workout Roundup: March 9th
What a week it has been! I needed to do a bit of self-care this week and spent most of the time walking and hiking and being outdoors. I went to the gym twice to lift. Who knows what will happen in the next few days! So far, the gyms in Virginia remain open, but […]

Workout Roundup: February 17th
I have decided to start sharing what I am working each week. I generally lift about 4 days a week and run 1 to 2. Or zero days. Ha! It just depends on the week and what I’m training for. This week was one of those weeks… I consider my workout weeks to start on […]
Spartan Race Reflection
I tried something new this past weekend. I completed my first obstacle course race. Of the Spartan variety. I know. Very exciting. It was a Stadion version of their Sprint distance at the Nationals Stadium in DC. Super cool. 3 miles and 20 obstacles (or 21-22 depending on who you ask!), lots of stair climbing and behind-the-scenes […]
Dealing with disappointment…
It’s frustrating, isn’t it? Dealing with disappointment. Things that are not in your control. How others handle things. (which is not in your control) Even when you do everything you can possibly do. Michael and I encountered our first house hunting upset. We found a beautiful home in the location we wanted. It checked all […]
Go with the flow … like wine.
A LOT is going on right now. I already knew this would be a busy month with recital preparation and all. But I didn’t know our “let’s find a new home” would elevate to the next level. Remember my “f**k perfect” post and getting our place ready to show without it being “stage ready”? Well, […]
Eff Perfect
I’m a perfectionist at heart. And I’ve been challenged to let go of my perfectionism in many ways over the years. Certainly in my more recent “adult-ing” years. I feel like I’ve been doing a fairly decent job with it, too. Though I’m not always “perfect” at letting go of my perfectionism. LOL. A few […]
