Namaste

Yoga – 75 min

I did it.  I got my butt to an actual yoga class.  I went to RYAH‘s 75-minute Vinyasa class.  I loved it!  It was just what I needed to ease myself back into yoga – a nice, easy (but not too easy) class.  The instructor, Candace, was wonderful and kept going walking around the room correcting everyone.  She corrected me quite a few times.  And holy pigeon pose!  My hips are so tight from running and that felt oh so good.  It feels so great to return to yoga.  A few years ago, I used to go once or twice a week without fail.  I realize now how much I miss it.

No running today but I do have a hysterical YouTube video for you, courtesy of my friend (and marathoner) Amanda.  I’ve watched it a few times already and still cry from laughter each time.  At around 1:50 it gets personal for me as the guy describes his day.  Yup, that’s me.  I’m sure many of you can relate…please assure me I’m not the only running nerd.

On deck tomorrow…speed work!

    Pigeon is one of my favorite poses, as opposed to the ever elusive crow. Shanti…

    Love the video. I love when the girls says “With your legs and feet ?” made me crack up. Unfortunately I can relate more to her LOL 🙂 But I still have much love for my runner girls!!
