#TakeTheLeap with #Prana and #SweatPink Yoga Challenge!

Time for another Mad Lib!!!

When I think about yoga, the first thought that comes to mind is flexibility. Yoga relaxes me and makes me feel calm.

That’s why I am so determined to participate in prAna’s Take the Leap 30 days of Yoga Challenge with Sweat Pink. I plan to Warrior I my way to a more flexible and infury-free 2015!

For me, the biggest challenge when it comes to yoga is finding the time to do it! Taking the Leap with prAna and Sweat Pink is a great way for me to face/conquer/achieve/find that time! My favorite place to yoga is Heartspace in Albany because it is so close to work and the instructor is great.

I am hoping this challenge will inspire me to do yoga every day. I can’t afford the time or money to go to classes. But there are so many online videos. I think I can squeeze in at least 5 minutes a day.

I doubt you see many pictures of my poses on Instagram. As I may have mentioned, I am not very flexible and so my poses are not pretty. It is also difficult to get pictures from a flattering angle.

However, I would love to see some yoga poses from my readers! Post one to Instagram and tag me!@dsc59

Come one! Take the Leap with me!

It starts tomorrow!!!

Join prAna and Sweat Pink’s Take the Leap Yoga Challenge and be eligible to win $500 worth of prAna gear and/or be the lucky winner who gets to gift $500 worth of prAna gear to one lucky winner. They just launched their new Spring collection so you best get on it!

If I win, I would gift my friend, Judy from FB, because she loves yoga!!!

There are a lot of ways out there to become part of a running community- DailyMile, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, BlogLovin, etc.

TribeSports is just one more.

I joined last week and instantly, I got a message:

Hi, nice to meet you Darlene. I have started to run this year in age of 45 and thought I had started late. I happened to see your bio and realized that you also have started late but already achieve tremendously! Thank you for giving me and other TS members inspiration.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to fully commit to TribeSports but maybe this will interest some of you.

I use DailyMile to keep track on my mileage. I post pics frequently to Instagram but my blog is my main outlet to stay connected with other runners. My posts are directly linked to Facebook and Twitter and BlogLovin so I don’t have to do anything else.

I follow other bloggers mostly through Instagram and BlogLovin though I do follow some on FaceBook.

On Facebook, I belong to several groups:

fb groups

Yes, it can be overwhelming but you can participate as much or as little as you are able. I am lucky to be at my computer all day long. I usually eat lunch at my desk and catch up with FB and blogs.

Happy Running! Are you part of any running communities? Which one(s)?
