Easy Run, Yoga, and Random Stuff

January 4, 2011 by Kristy 6 Comments

1/4/11

6 miles

57:23

9:33 avg pace

A nice easy run today to shake out my legs from yesterday’s speed work.  I had good intentions of waking up and going to a yoga class this morning but Hawk decided it was play time at 4:45AM and it took me awhile to fall back asleep.  So when the alarm did go off, sleep won over yoga.  This is lame but after my run I did one of those 20-minutes yoga sessions you find on On Demand.  I think it was called “Zen in Your Den”.  Hysterical.  It was super easy but just want I wanted…a nice easy stretch.  My right hamstring has been a little tight and I think it’s causing me to shorten my stride a bit.  Some yoga is just what my hamstring needed.

Onto some random stuff…

Total mileage for 2010 = 1,528!  So I almost ran to FL and back.

Matt and I exchange ornaments for Christmas each year.  This may be one of my favorites…

I think she looks like me with the exception of the hair.  My hair never looks that nice when I run.  It’s more like this…

MCM - 2007. Worst pic ever. I have no idea what is going on with my hair. Humidity, wind? I don't know.

    Love the ornament and REALLY love your hair in the pic. LOL! Should have donned that style for the wedding…with a white visor of course!
    Now I need to go check out my total miles. Won’t be nearly as many, but cool to see nonetheless.
    Off to yoga now. Namaste.

    You are hilarious with the pictures! Love the ornament too! Do you usually go to a yoga class or do it on your own?

      I usually do a class but it has been awhile since I’ve done any yoga.

    I’ve done Zen in Your Den! I thought it was OK, but I’m by no means fit. The yoga exercise I really liked, which I don’t think is on there anymore, was Yoga Works Body Slim…very intense. I haven’t been to a strictly yoga class since one in college a few years ago, but I’m planning on going now I have a good gym membership (if I can defeat my alarm clock on a Saturday Morning :D)

    I’ve been wanting to get involved in running. I used to run, but only intervals of running and walking. I love to run FAST–and I don’t have endurance. I’ve also experienced pain in my arches when I’ve tried to run. I don’t know if you have any tips, but if you do, I’d appreciate them.
