Ran before Yoga at 8:15 a.m. After a week of running outside--I finally felt like I was "worthy" of running up the canyon. I just about cried when I got to my favorite concrete pipe water fountain. the water pressure was high, and the stream from the pipe was thick and cold. That water feels like heaven to me always. I even took a picture of it. I've missed that side of the canyon too. I've been back at Yoga this week, and realizing how much I have wrecked my hips/hamstrings with every stretch. I used to be so flexible and strong in my buttocks, hips, and back. Practicing in studio is a good challenge for me now. Did 25 salutations in 2 hours of Yoga. Felt so good, cleared my brain and made me feel how bad running has been to my body--I didn't strength train or stretch the way I should have after I stopped regular Yoga in 2009. I hope to rebuild that hip strength. |
