Other (Yoga) 50:00 [3]
Hippie time. The thing that struck me on the first trots back after a couple of weeks work/cold induced lay-off was how much less enjoyable it is to run when things are tight. To that end, I decided to go along to the yoga joint near work and give it a go. 2 week free trial a bonus.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but was suitably impressed upon arrival by the instructors very impressive posture as she glided in to the room. What followed was a somewhat strange combination of advanced stretching and quite hard core strength drills set against a tone of 'serene hippie'.
The instructions flowed at a rapid rate - too fast to follow everything, but clear enough to be able to vaguely keep up. Time went quickly, and by the end was impressed to see that I had gone from 'no running tight' to being able to get my knuckles on the floor with straight legs in the space of an hour.
I think I enjoyed myself. Will have to go back next week to check.
Running 30:00 [3]
Ran back to work from hippie stretching via the waterfront. It was kinda odd. One the one hand the looser legs were keen to run, but I was so peaced out running felt like an uncivilised form of hurrying.
