Different kind of strength

Posted on August 26, 2011 by G

Had a proper yoga class this afternoon, with a sprinkle of yoga woo. (I’m not a fan of the yoga woo, but so it goes.) Included were a couple of interesting poses (half-moon is kind of cool!) and it was … Continue reading →

Sturdy like a lobster

Posted on August 24, 2011 by G

Long yoga class today (long in stretchy, not duration). I think we went through about eleventy billion poses in the 45 minutes. I wasn’t really a fan of this; it takes me a little bit to settle into the stretches … Continue reading →

Accepting even the parts I don’t like

Posted on August 23, 2011 by G

Tuesday weight lifting, the usual, cranked through it in record time. Since I’m not running I did the leg exercises that I usually skip, the quad and hamstring machines. And then I stretched out all the things. (Pigeon is getting … Continue reading →

Decadence

Posted on August 22, 2011 by G

I had a rather long and decadent workout today: 20 minutes of running followed by an hour of Yogilates. (Yogilates would appear, at first glance, to be a combination of yoga and Pilates, but most of it was yoga stuff … Continue reading →

Posted on August 19, 2011 by G

Today I took a break at lunchtime and went to the gym for a yoga class, a proper one this time with poses with Sanskrit names. I have pretty much just one conclusion: Yoga is really, really hard! I was … Continue reading →

The Way Out Is Through

Posted on August 18, 2011 by G

Thursday is lifting day! It was not a great lifting day. I wound up wobbly and shaky by the end (and then in the locker room trying to put on mascara and eyeliner, that was a fun time!) It’s got … Continue reading →

Stick-to-itiveness

Posted on August 17, 2011 by G

Teeny post today! I took a break in the middle of my day to hit up the yogaflex class… an hour later I was a bit more bendy. I am just not naturally a bendy person, so this is something … Continue reading →

Leg bone connected to the…

Posted on August 16, 2011 by G

I may have given up on running for the time being, but I am still lifting weights and getting my stretching in! I skipped my oblique twisty things, though; I tweaked my back somehow and didn’t feel like aggravating that. … Continue reading →

On a break

Posted on August 15, 2011 by G

I think I’m getting to the end of my running break– my foot only aches a little bit now when it stiffens up. I’ve been looking into different treatments for the plantar fasciitis, since it’s one of those things that … Continue reading →

All the feelings

Posted on August 11, 2011 by G

Typical Thursday: lifted weights with J (an hour early this time, but otherwise the same). My heart just wasn’t in it today, though– I’m feeling a little down. I was doing okay until we had finished and were stretching and … Continue reading →
