Personal:

Mile warm up followed by 3- 1 mile repeats at 6:30 pace.  Holding pace was tough today.  I'd have to say I would have struggled to run 6:30's for 10k.  I got through it though and am headed out to yoga soon.

nice running -- way to hold the pace and get through the workout.

do you do yoga more for stretching/flexibility or strength/stamina? or both?

I'm definetely doing it for a combination of the 2. I think i'll actually be adding a second class on Saturdays as I seem to lose a lot of the flexibility during the week. It seems to be helping as I actually find that downward facing dog is now a rest position.

I know you do plank position for strength but do you take any classes?
