6am 1hour Hot with Patricia - fluey but I did it!


I took the Tylenol Flu before I went to bed and got up and went to yoga. I have to say I was feeling a little grumpy under my smile. I used the brick again in my hip stretch. I was struggling with it - trying to get it under my half but - it was pretty funny. It took me three tried - not graceful at all. Anywho - it was a good class even though I was not feeling 100%.

Patricia's 6am 1 hour Hot - 5 people in the class - You know it is a Tuesday after a long weekend when...


I slept a lot Monday - so when it was time to sleep at night I was not that tired. I tossed and turned and had weird dreams and woke up before my alarm. I was ready for yoga. There were not many people in class. There were the two partners in crime that are doing the 120 day challenge, two other girls - one newish, and me! I remembered during warrior 2 to move my upper body back - center it - as I tend to lean forward. For the yin hip stretch - Patricia gave me a box to sit on - cause my hips are tight. I got to get myself back to a yin class.. and just lay in those positions.. I have one pencilled in for Saturday - let's see if I make it!!

Danielle's Ballet 1/2 class at 12pm - with Cierra!! Her first Harbour ballet class :)


This class ended up being way too difficult for Cierra - but she kept up and caught on quick. I was very proud of her. She thanked Danielle at the end of class and Danielle said - you made me work so hard.. hahaha! My right shoe fell apart - the toe part just kept unfolding until I had a ballet shoe flip flop. It was really annoying. I tried my toe undies for one exercise.. but just can't slide the same with them. I threw them out at the end of class. I guess I have to stop at Limbers and get new ballet shoes... sometime before Cierra wants to try class again. She is going to try an intro class next. Anywho - it was a good class - all sweaty - and that is that.

Run to Second Beach and Back!


Oh no!! I think this how long I ran: 12.47 km in 1.31 hours. That must be right. Weird it didn't save right. It was the first time with my new sensor. I think that old one I had worked - I mean the old new one - just I didn't know how to reconnect it with my ipod. The people at the Nike store on Robson either are just not helpful or they do not know about the product that they are selling. I don't think I will be shopping there anymore. (ya right.. I love that store... ok.. no.. I don't when they did not help me out... ) Anywho, it was a great run. There was sun. I wore my jacket and ended up tying it around my waist once I got to second beach. I "ran" into Kelly Robinson on the C wall by her apartment. She was just finishing her run. We had a good chat - supposedly I need sunglasses. Hahaa.. then I kept running to second beach. I sat there for a while looking at the water - dripping sweat - then I got some water and ran back. I love running in the sun!!!

Camille's 9:30 am Hot - normal hot - I haven't done a full class in a while!!


Wow! I had a rough yoga class this morning. A few factors that lead to this were: it was my first full hot in about three weeks, my cold has moved into my chest making it hard to breathe during the balancing postures, and I slept too much which made me all stiff and crunchy! Tomorrow I think I will go for a run then I will try yoga again on Sunday in the afternoon - so I can be more flexible.

It was nice to have a class with Camille again though. She is one of the owners. She is really nice and had some good pointers. Push your hands into the ground and forward to bring your head closer to your knee in your standing separate leg head to knee.

Patricia's 6am hot - oops.. I got some of the poses in the wrong order.. let me make amends!


ok.. I don't feel like writing out the class order now. I did mess up last time too. The first exercise (hahaha.. I don't want to but here we go...) is put your leg up on the inside of your leg.. and try to not let it slip off.. so hard for a slippery johnson - then put your arms up and try to do a back bend.. at least look to the ceiling and try to look farther back. The other one I mixed up was awkward and eagle.. wrong order. Anywho. Good class this morning. Tomorrow morning Danny is teaching. I might go for a run.. but he is one of my faves.. I don't know what I will do in the morning.. cause I want to go to the flow class at 6. I feel like I have been doing too many of the same classes.
