Namaste!

YOGA 1hr
RUN 39.5 mins at 4 miles tracking HR with an easy, steady pace


#1 9:41 125bpm
#2 9:53 130bpm
#3 9:52 132bpm
#4 10:17 133 bpm (up the stairs in FoPa)

I did  brief strength sessions Sunday and Monday and was surprised and disappointed at just how tight and inflexible I'm starting to become, especially in the upper back. I've been wanting to try yoga to see what everyone is raving about, I'm glad I did! I thought I'd be bored or anxious to move, but CB kept us thinking and changing. This was my first ever class, so while I had low expectations for myself I really didn't think I'd hit them. In some poses I was tight just getting into the basic position, never mind the movement once into the starting basic position! So I have things to work on.

I liked the focus on breathing, I was holding my breath sometimes! I do that outside of exercising too.

The run came about an hour afterwards (later than I wanted to start) but I still had yoga on the brain. I focused on breathing, my head position, my shoulders. Got thinking about Bee Calm and Buzz On. Thinking about triathlon, swimming (I started making 2013 swim cards yesterday!), and get back into tri scheduling and balance.
