YOGA~MOTION

After my half marathon I have been thinking a lot about what my next "challenge" will be. I am finding that I am a goal oriented type of gal. I need something to push myself towards, or I tend to border the lines of bad habits. So I joined a Yoga studio down the street! I have always enjoyed Yoga, but cannot say that I am good at it :) I hope to be! I am making it a goal to go at least 3 times a week and do 1-2 regular work out days. I hope to build core strength, as well as some upper body (sadly yes, Yoga is difficult on my upper body), and stretch/lengthen.
Anyone who knows me, knows I am a stress case. I don't mean to be, I certainly don't try to be, but a lot of times-I just am. Yoga helps that so much. I know it sounds crazy, but that hour & fifteen minutes relaxes me & for that time--all of the other worries are out the window. I didn't instantly love Yoga, it actually took me about 3 times to like it- but I did love how it relaxed me.
I highly recommend it to anyone! Anyway-that's my Goal for May-Yoga 3 days a week. So far, so good!

I finally did it!!!

I ran 13.1 miles
I almost died
I wanted to die
My legs were dying!
My iPod stopped & froze at mile 10...
I was wondering what I got myself into
I trained for almost 3months
Did I mention my legs were DYING!?
I wanted to quit many different times
I didn't quit
I ran 13.1 miles
and am SO HAPPY I DID IT!!!!!!!!




Now I am going to take a major break from long distance running, recoup & make a new goal! Not sure what the goal will be but I will keep you posted!! How are your work outs & goals coming along???
