To be honest, it wasn't hard except for waking up every morning at 5:00am to go to yoga class. I know if I were to cross train less, my current total weekly mileage would be around 35-miles. It's been done before.
However, it's one of my goals is to keep up with my yoga practice throughout this journey. Bikram Yoga is known for increasing respiratory efficiency and improving lung capacity. It really allows me to get that deep stretch and recover faster from the long runs. Most important, it helps to curve my appetite and consequently eat cleaner. I truly believe it is the perfect complement to running.
Talking about "clean eating", last weekend I tried a delicious homemade brick oven vegan arugula pizza at my friend's house. It looked just like this one. Since my camera was not ready, I borrowed the picture from this site: http://www.quarrygirl.com.
I need to learn how to prepare this. It was almost as good as my green kale monster smoothie.
