I was so tired today. My muscles were tired. I think I will do NOTHING after school today. Well, not nothing.. grocery shop, get photos developped and get chapters gift cards for my teacher supervisors. SO.. I will go for a walk around my neighbourhood.. and get that done! NICE!
Um.. I like my toes in yoga. They match my frog towel. The class was quite full. We had 15 yogis in there. I haven't seen Danielle since she went to Vegas... hmmm.. ?? My little Asian neighbour was there.. she was ahead of me on the hill on my walk to yoga. The couple was there.. she and I talked about how much more we sweat not since we started hot yoga. I guess our bodies are more efficient at cooling us down. So, I am a sweaty person who is now sweatier... great!! hahaha! Who else was there.. oh ya.. that new little Asian girl.. she has been coming every morning and she brought a friend who is coming every day too. (it could be a friend or her mom) I have to learn people's names!!!
ANYWHO... time to teach!!
Later that same day...
I know why I was tired... I woke up with a sore throat... I didn't write it down cause I was hoping it would go away. When I got home from school I crashed on the couch. Out cold for an hour. Then, I got up to do my errands and I have itchy nose and lots of sneezes... in the grocery store.. not good! It will be gone when I wake up in the morning!! I have two more days to make my five in a row 6am goal!
I have 21 km until I reach the blue level! I will be there soon!! I will be running blue in Bali for sure.
Today is sunny!! It was cloudy when I got home from school. Sophie got home at five and we met at 5:45 in English Bay. We ran to the pool and up to Rawlings then across and up the side walk until we found an unnamed hill down which took us to third beach. We ran back along the C wall, high fived at her turn off and I continued home. I stopped at Booty Camp exit and walked home down my alley.
I think we were both running fast. hahaha.. I think we were pushing each other. I thought I was trying to keep up with her and she thought she was trying to keep up with me. It was an awesome run and a beautiful day and a great little chat.
Well - I did it. I had a long day yesterday and I didn't get to bed till about 10. I crashed right away. I woke up at 2:30am and then again with the alarm at 5:45. I almost rolled back over when I remembered I had new hair. YAY! I gotta try this out at yoga :) I got up and away I went.
It fit back into a high, half pulled through pony just like usual. It feels so much healthier. Now, let's get this yoga class over with so I can try washing it. YUP.. here I am at school now.. wash and go.. and SO NICE! Good work Tammi!
As for yoga - we did side planks, the hips up one.. not wheel.. but that was an option - thread the needle and pigeon.
I guess what I was thinking about most was how Patricia makes us hold things so much longer than Angela. I like the was she talks in breath. For example: We are going to hold this for six breaths.
I thought.. I should bring my mom to yoga. I be Patricia could fix her!
I thought.. my lower back is tight and I want to stay in this standing bow on the left side and go into warrior three.. but I did.. but then I didn't make it to airplane! I crashed!!
There is the bell!! Three more days with kids after today... also .. three more 6ams to complete my goal for the week :)
YAY! I got up this morning and went to yoga. I was still a little stiff from my run Saturday but it felt so nice. The sun was coming out when I walked down the hill. I love fresh, sunny mornings!
I have to admit though - it did cross my mind.. to go back to sleep... but I went and I am glad for it! My goal for the week is ... even though I can do what I want when I want... I want to go every morning this week!
I woke up this morning and the sun she was a shining!! However.. it was 5:45am so I had a peanut butter sandwich and some Gatorade and went back to sleep. I woke up at 8:35am and it was so NICE! FINALLY! I was ready to run.
I got dressed in … shorts and a singlet… and made an on-the-go playlist.
I decided that today was the perfect day to run the C wall. I ran down my alley and out through a parking lot and down to Gastown by the Sea bus station. I ran along there to the C wall. That first part of my run was a lot of stop and go because of … well.. roads and cars. I don’t really like running through this part of town. It feels weird. I feel more normal when I get on the wall and there are other people like me.
I felt good running. When I started out my plan was not to do the 10 and 1’s. I wasn’t going to stop to walk but then my mind kept wanting to stop. Then, I saw this old runner man ahead of me and he did the walk – and I passed him!! Hahaha! We later became little buddies. He passed me saying I was his pacer. He reckons I was going about 5’20 and I was like.. I don’t know.. he says.. you have the thing.. ya.. but I can’t see it! Anywho- he passed me but I kept right behind him for the longest time. Then .. I fell back. I don’t know why – distracted by a song or something. The old man had spunk. I think he sped up!
I stopped for a walk under the Lions Gate – so from my house to Lions Gate – that is pretty far. My ears were so sweaty that my headphones couldn’t get sound through the sweat and they kept slipping out… oh well.. they shouldn’t be that close to my ears anyways. Probably better for me if they slip out a little. The left ear is always the worst for sweat and losing the ear bud. Annoying.. but a little wipe of the bud and my ear and it works fine again. I wish I wasn’t such a sweaty girl! I could do so much more!
I saw the Siwash rock up ahead and I passed a girl and told myself I could walk again when I got there but I didn’t walk. I was cruising. That little walk break made me fast. I was in my zone and I caught back up with my old man! I got to the rock and he ran into a friend and stopped to talk. I laughed and said – Thanks for stopping him! Hahaha! He laughed. I ran to third beach and stopped to drink water. The old man passed me and said – thanks for waiting for me!! Hahahaha!! Funny. That was the last I saw of him because I love third beach and I thought it would be nice to sit on a log and stretch for a while. I love the sun and the sand… and it is the perfect morning. YAY! I drank some more water from the fountain ( I didn’t want to wear my water bottle ) and away I went.
I was passing and going fast. I didn’t stop again – not true.. I stopped for water at English Bay.. but just quick all over my face water. I was drenched with sweat anyways…. And I just cruised in the zone all the way to my alley.
And now.. I am reconsidering going to dance at 1… hahaha.. that was a long run already! Ya.. I think I have done enough for today!! That was a long one and when I just got up to fix the Internet… I was walking like an old person!! Hahaha! Shuffling one might say.
It is Friday today.. .so I am not going to write about yesterday... later today.. when I am out of this SCHOOL... I will write about the awesome run and yoga class I did today.. when it is fresh in my head :)
