This evening the rain cleared out and my husband, dog and I took a walk. It was a fairly random route, but roughly along the same path as a couple of my runs. I definitely notice a lot more of the nice things about our neighborhood when said neighborhood isn't spinning. There was a junior high-ish age kid practicing his trumpet out in his front yard. Kinda nice to hear that as we walked around the block...also a reminder of the goal of running past the jazz musicians in Oct! Our walk was about 1.86K (1.16m).
I also got in the Seated Twist Series from FitTV again. I hope it does better for my lungs on the 7 minute run tomorrow than it did for the mess of a run yesterday. The "hard" pose in this series is a half lotus forward fold and it is sooo easy for me, that I am either doing it wrong, or (if this is really good for the lungs) I should be breathing better. They make a big deal on the video about only going forward half an inch if that's all you can do, but I can touch my face on the floor.... See how this guy is sitting, now picture him leaning straight forward like this, but with his hands on the ground. That's what I'm doing. The chickies in the video are basically sitting up like the guy. Whatever, I just want to be able to breathe so I can get through seven minutes tomorrow.
I've noticed yoga is a lot easier lately. Not sure if the suddenly bulging leg muscles are helping, or if it's just so much easier than running that even the hard stuff seems easy now. I do think the strengthened legs are helping with my balance, which I am thrilled about.
Enough. Till tomorrow, when we find out if I move on to week 4, or start week 3 over!!
