I sometimes think that running has given me a glimpse of the greatest freedom a man can ever know, because it results in the simultaneous liberation of both body and mind.

Wow, thank you to everyone who entered my giveaway. I really enjoyed reading about everyone’s favorite gear. You guys must really like yoga. Or Pilates 
Speaking of Pilates, you all know I swear by the many benefits Pilates offers. Well, turns out I’m not the only one. Active.com posted an article on Facebook this morning about how everyone and anyone can benefit from Pilates. Check it out here.
If you are interested, here are some older posts I wrote on the benefits of Pilates:

I love Pilates and try to take at least one mat class and one reformer class a week.
One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to improve the blog. As you can see, I take my resolutions very seriously.
Don’t expect major changes any time soon but I am working on it. I have added a Recipes Tab below my header, where I will link all the Athlete’s Palate recipes.
My workout yesterday was not good. I did 4 x 15 sets of (modified) pushups. Also working towards a fitness goal I set for myself in 2011. The problem is, that was all I did. Ooops. Better make up for it today. Those plyo jumps always make me so sore! Do they ever get easier?
Happy Friday everyone!
Question: Have you ever tried Pilates? What is one fitness goal you are working towards right now?
Besides training for Boston, I really want to improve my upper body & core strength. Push ups have always been very hard for me. Definitely an area I can improve on. Unfortunately, strength training for me, can get a little boring. Any tips?
