Friday 6 - 7:30am Bikram Cambie - Tanya!

I love Tanya. I wish I could of heard the story she was telling half way through the floor series. I think it was something about teaching young kids... or playing a game... there were five teams... she named some of the teams and they seemed to have funny names that people were laughing at. Maybe one day I will have waterproof hearing aids!

Anyways... today wasn't a "good" class but it wasn't as bad as yesterday. I did get dizzy during the standing series but I was able to fight it better than yesterday. I crouched down and missed a couple of things but I kept getting back up and doing the other half or the other side. I didn't miss much. Nothing like yesterday. No headache either.. just a little dizzy. I guess I will be back to normal tomorrow.

I realized something before class started. My hamstring injury on my left leg isn't my original hamstring that was hurt. My right leg is the one I hurt in '88. This left hammy is a brand new injury. I thought I hurt it in dance... and I must have.. but there was no moment... that I can remember where it happened. No wonder it is taking so long to heal. Maybe I should ask the doc about it and go see the physio. I should have done that right away.. but I thought it was the other leg... that I usually overstretch once in a while. I will mention it to him Monday when I go for my wart zapping... HATE! Please get off my foot now PLEASE!

Anywho.. as for running. I still want to run. I have no desire to get up and run with a pack of people. I have lost all interest. Part of me still thinks I won't be able to not do it. But another part of me feels like she is turning over a new leaf. Who knows which side will win at this point. This is all new to me. Usually the stubborn side doesn't even acknowledge that there is another side.

Thursday 6 - 7:30am Bikram Cambie - Mari

I had a bad wart zapping on Monday which carried on through Tuesday and then Wednesday I was just feeling lazy. I kind of have a headache. I just don't feel like running. I have had thoughts of not doing the race at all. I am not saying I am not doing it yet. I am definitely thinking about bailing on the whole thing. I am just not into it anymore. I know I can do it. I just don't care to. Hopefully, I will pull myself out of this... whatever it is.

This morning I just got up and went to yoges. I was fine until balancing series and then I got dizzy. I did half of everything... I think. I was dizzy and headachey. I was really stiff and my left hammy is still ailing me.

I came home to my beautiful family and made some fresh juice. I am feeling a bit better now. I am going to try to make myself run when Jonny comes home from work. And I am going to get up and go to 6am yoges tomorrow... hopefully with better results! 

Saturday Run 8 Km, 42:06 Mins

This is Friday's run. Tomorrow I will do Saturday's run. Then I will be back on track. We ended up going skate boarding last night and when we got back... I was too pooped to run.

When I set out on this run I didn't want to run. I am bored of running. I want to go back to just running when I want... and in one week I can! I don't even want to run this race.. but I have come this far. I am going to check it off my list and not do another one again for another ... couple of years.. or never! hahaha! But I am sure Carrie will talk me into one. I wouldn't mind doing the Tofino one or the Disneyland one.

Friday 12 - 1:30 Bikram Cambie - Cedric

I can't believe I had Cedric two days in a row. I almost left at triangle. As if I would ever leave... But I really wanted to. If you are going to take so long in each posture at least help the dude out that is doing it completely wrong. You can't miss him. And you really shouldn't do any demos in those yoga shorts. I swear I saw a ball when you demoed standing bow. I had to look away. To little and lost the elastic around the leg. No good my friend. No good.

I thought about Yolandi hair. I gotta do that soon. I remember when I was little my mom asked me how I wanted my hair and I said short at the front and long at the back- like my walking doll. I'm going to do this hair style sooner than later! Anywho... Yoga is done. I still gotta run but I don't really feel like it. Maybe later when it gets sunny. 

Thursday 6 - 7:30am Bikram Cambie - Cedric

I love being done yoges this early in the morning.

Cedric wasn't the teacher on the schedule. I was disappointed when I saw him at the front desk. His class this morning was a lot better than the last one I had with him. So... all good!

My hammy is still aching and bugging me a bit.

I did balancing toe on the broken ankle side!

I did floor bow.

I had a good class... .and now I am done! 

Wednesday Run 5.2 Km, 29:26 Mins

I ran into Azelia before I started my run and we had a little chat.

I also ran into the rain! I ran around Science World and past that restaurant to the place where I turn around for a 6km run. Then I ran back but I went over the bridge because it was really raining.

I did three Tabata sessions. The first one and last one I ran them all but the second one I last the eighth one... because I thought I was done and the music surprised me when it came on and I was like.. no... I am going to walk and breathe still. That is better than last time. I feel like a dork but it feels good to giver. The last session I did was a bit downhill for some of it... so it was a little easier.

Tuesday 6 - 7:30am Bikram Cambie - Tanya!

I thought I would try and get up before the boys woke up this morning .. and Thursday... and go to yoges. I was startled by my alarm that wasn't the boy. I had everything ready so I just got up and went.

I was really stiff - especially in rabbit but other than that... oh and my wart foot which was just zapped yesterday... I was good. I love Tanya and I never get to have her as a teacher so it was a nice treat. She gave me one correction... standing separate leg head to knee.... make sure my forehead is right on my knee... move my head a little to the outside so it is centred. I am going to remember to do that each time. (I didn't hear her the first time she told me but she came back to check the second round and she explained it again... damn my def ears!)

I got home and the boys were still asleep. I had a quick shower and there was my real alarm clock.. the boy! Perfect timing. I hope it goes this smoothly on Thursday!
