Sunrise run with a friend. Took it easy and chatted away. Up the Freedom
Hills switchbacks and along the BST to loop back around through the
neighborhood. Reigned it in because she's just getting back into running
and her ankle doesn't handle the downhills so well. 10:58ish min/mile.
Followed it up with Ashtanga MDR.
5 cycles Suryanamaskara A
5 cycles Suryanamaskara B
Pashimotanasana
Min. 5 minute Savasana
Felt strong and the flow was great.

| Mountain run up Freedom Hills to the BST again. Same friend. Didn't know
if I'd make it out until I woke up this morning at 6:20 and felt pretty
rested (not bad for staying up 'til 12:30). This time we went north and
looped back down around the rocky trails instead of neighborhoods. I
much prefer the trails. It was about 15 degrees warmer this morning than
yesterday morning! It felt like spring. Less layers required. Glorious.
I definitely worked up more of a sweat today.
Still held back on the downhills some. Easy pace. 11:42 min/mile.
I'm thinking an MDR sounds good again.

Wednesday night, yoga night!
Align and Flow Moon Salutations for 1.25
hrs and then YTT for another 2 hrs. It sounds so peaceful saying it
that way, but it was INTENSE. It wasn't my most mindful and present
practice, but it was good. By the end of YTT my hips were DONE. Awesome.
I was able to accomplish Hanumanasana (splits) on both sides. I can
drop into a dance split at any moment, but the hips have to be squared
off in this pose, so it took some work to align correctly and get down!
Took a break from the morning run so that warlordblade could go to 7 am Jiu Jitsu.

Another gorgeous morning run! 2.6 with my friend Mara up FH again. 11:31
pace. I think next time we'll try to push it up the switchbacks more.
Starting out uphill is not my favorite, but it's good for me right? 3
hrs of yoga last night had my legs burning hot within the first mile.
But the birds were singing and the temperature was perfect. I finish
almost every run happy, but with just a hint of lamentation at my
slowness. I need to remember that I'm probably faster and stronger now
than I have been at any time in the past (except maybe last
summer/fall). I can't compare myself to anyone but me!
Time for morning asanas. MDR on the way (if the kids will let me)!

| Nada. Bah. Running partner is in Hawaii (poor thing), and the sudden jump to runs+yoga every day on top of the crazy busy calendar had me needing a pajama day- which I took. Husband also had early morning yoga and climbing, so it was my turn to sleep in. Did get in a tiny bit of rock wall climbing near the end of day at family health/movie night. | | Add Comment |

| Very little running was had, unless you count running around chasing nieces, nephews and offspring around yards and playgrounds. That happened a lot today.
Began the morning with an incredible 90 minute modified Ashtanga Primary Series (yoga) class at Mindful & Embodied. Kicked my trash and left me feeling clean and glowing despite the puddle of sweat that formed on my mat. Just what I needed. Considered running with WLB between Easter Egg Hunts, but my legs were hashed enough that it would have been frustrating to try. Glad he got a run in though.
