Working it Out

I successfully managed to get to Yoga last night for my favorite instructor, Julia.  I really like her, and I always feel like I get a good workout in. And I also ran into neighbor Lil, too.  I am so inflexible, and getting in some deep stretching and flexibility is a good complement for running.  Hopefully I can continue this on a more regular basis, though schedule wise it is always tough. And tonight, I will run for the first time in a few days, I hope.

There is always so much going on, with travel and hectic schedules and evening events.  I really need to take time for myself, and working out is one of way of at least making me feel productive about it. Though I wish I could be lazy sometimes, too!

Bikram is a Beast

So I braved the hot yoga this morning. Oh my lord. I felt sick right after--light-headed and dehydrated yes also unable to keep any water down.  A few hours later, I do feel ok. I think it was the getting up at 5:30 am, sitting in a hundred degree room, and having it be nowhere near as restful as I thought it would be. But it's good to do something different, right? I mean, I used to be unable to run a mile, let alone ten miles or thirteen miles. So you have to start from somewhere.  For me, that's going to be to actually find a lower intensity stretchy kind of yoga, at Results or at another studio on H Street. I totally can do it, right?
