Stroller pushin in Texas

15 miles with Melissa at the Greenway.  70 out and 100% humidity.  

Run went by fast and we had good conversation.  I am sure going to miss that girl when I have to move back to Del Rio.  :(  Good running buddies are kind of hard to come by these days.

8:29 AP.  We were rockin' it!  Her marathon is in 2 weeks and she will do great.  

Didn't run because I wanted to save all I had for my first Bikram class.

Bikram Yoga is a 90 minute class held in a 98 degree room.  Super hot and dry in the room.  The worst part of the experience was the horrific smell.  It was the smell of foot and bum combined with a mix of severe BO.  

Got there 5 minutes early to lie in the heat and try to get used to it.  It was REALLY hot.  We weren't allowed to drink water until about 20 minutes in.  I actually wasn't that thirsty and my sweat just rolled down my body.  By the end, my full large towel was soaked completely.  Felt so good to stretch super deep.  I will go back tomorrow.

So happy that I was brave enough to try this class!  I have been scared to take it for over a year now. 

I felt like crap today running.  I got so overheated during my speed work, I had to depart from the TM and run on the indoor track.  Maybe my body was overheating because of what I did to it last night?  I wanted to cry.

First 5k was in 21 minutes.  Ran another few miles.   

Day 2 of Bikram.  I went to another studio and it smelt so so so much better!  Bikram class is exactly the same wherever you go, kinda neat.  Anyway, it hurt more today.  There was one point in the class I started blacking out and I had to lay down.  After that, I was fine the rest of the class.

My ultimate goal with Bikram is to lengthen my hamstrings back out.  I don't think there is any hope for this, we will see what happens. 

10 miles in the breezy 50 degree weather.  Cool and sunny, just the way I like it.  Wore tank and skirt, and I felt like I was overheating??? Hahaha, I think Bikram is messing with me big time!  My body doesn't know what it is doing.  AP 8:07.  Felt like I kept it easy most of the time.  

I tossed and turned and laid in bed for an hour in the middle of the night again.  I sleep but I wake up thinking Bikram, Bikram, Bikram!!! It's scaring me.  I think I might take today off and go back tomorrow earlier in the day.  It gives me sooo much energy I can't sleep.  Plus I wake up in the night and my belly is super warm.  ??  Read online that these are some of the side effects for first timers.   

7 miles on the TM. 7:30 AP.  Got really hot again.

12 miles with Melissa at McAllister.  So sad it was our last run.  Perfect weather, and the path was so so so GREEN today.  LOVE San Antonio in the spring.  So sad to leave and I will miss Melisa so badly. :(  Such is like.

We rocked at an 8:21 AP.
