c25kBut a yoga update instead, related to running.
My husband and I do vinyasa (power) yoga at my hospital once a week, on Tuesdays. After two consecutive days of running on Sunday and Monday, my body wanted nothing to do with yoga and I struggled badly through the class. Holding the standing postures was nearly impossible, and I found myself coming up more than once. Even my back was grouchy in savasana. During the last posture, our instructor said something to the effect of, "let go of whatever you're holding on to. If you don't do as well as you want, reserve judgement and be kind to yourself. You will get other chances." That helped let it go, and I didn't even notice it till my husband pointed it out.
And the twists! Oh gosh, I felt every hip flexor and gluteal muscle screaming at me when I started doing the twists. Methinks I need to carve out time for more stretching after running.
I have an exam tomorrow and then a run in the evening. This weekend we turn our clocks back, which means the return of the Vibrant Green Jacket for visibility. On the upside, the cooler weather might mean the bugs will die off. That would be rad.
