If you know me you know I write about my running a lot. When you’re running marathons you’ve pretty much given up a lot of your other hobbies and friends to hit the road. Sometimes I write about yoga, usually that’s more private. I originally wrote about my running to keep data and improve, but I guess there are some some topics in both yoga and running that I would like to get into. Hence, why I started a blog. In no particular order I’m going to write a nice long list of things I want to talk to you about. In a week or so I’ll become officially certified to coach you, so if you want me to support you in that please hit me up! I like helping people so rates are negotiable. I’m also going to be looking for guinea pig so if you want help training for a fall marathon… you are reading this just in time!
Anyway by reading this long crazy list, you’ll know a little bit more about me and what you’re getting into by reading this thing.
If you have anything to add (especially if it’s funny… I’m having a blank on funny topics for some reason…) please hit me in the comments, on Facebook, email jennyogarun@gmail.com, text, whatever you do just don’t call me because who really does that anymore (just kidding…).
