Change of activity.

2008-10-04T01:17:35Z

Took the last two days off, partly laziness, partly because I knew I'd be playing soccer today and I was afraid of being sore for that. Started off with some light yoga to stretch out, just picking some poses that I felt would be good. I haven't...

Yoga and yoga massage

A muse, and not a dead parakeet

2008-10-02T18:44:57Z

So I've been sort of avoiding, dancing around starting the revision of my novel. Partly it's because I know there are some major problems with two major points in the novel, and I know that until I figure this out the thing is not going to make se...

Month close.

2008-10-01T03:14:30Z

Finished off September with another 2 mile run. I was planning on doing it yesterday, but once again fell victim to procrastination. I have to say that while the end number of workouts is the same, half the days in the month, my distribution was...

Bikram - Gonna make you sweat

2008-09-30T20:57:04Z

I’m not a runner or jogger and please don’t ask me to engage in anything above a speed walk. I’ve tried all that and my body cries each and every time. I know all about pushing past the pain but I’d rather do it calmly standing on a mat than huff...

Feeling guilty

2008-09-30T06:19:25Z

I'm sitting here feeling slightly guilty as I've decided not to go to my usual box-fit class tonight. I do have a reason though (don't we always!) Last Thursday at Yoga we were completing a move where you drop down from a vertical plank position t...

Hills again.

2008-09-27T18:07:31Z

Decided to take another stab at hill sprints today. Unfortunately, it turned out not to be like so many other things, where I get a lot better the second time. It still hurt. Pushed just a tiny bit harder than last time, doing a set of 5, 3, an...

Introspective improvements

2008-09-26T00:58:13Z

I have been more introspective these days, which has turned my vision inwards more than outwards, which means I haven't been working. That's not entirely true. I have been working, but I have not been producing new work. The yoga is doing well ...

Bikram, bugs and moderation

2008-09-25T22:05:32Z

So I broke down and bought a pair of yoga shorts for my bikram class, I figure I go enough that I can justify the $30, and they really do make it much easier to do some of the standing poses becuase the fabric doesn't bunch up or get snag anywhere...

back to yoga

2008-09-25T17:31:09Z

so my next session of yoga started up again last night, and, as usual, we started the session with a breakdown of the sun salutations and some detailed instruction of some standing poses. last session, when she started this "refresher" class idea...

Motivation, of sorts.

2008-09-23T05:52:23Z

Finally managed to get a second workout in during a day. I've been trying to do this on and off all month, and could never quite manage to motivate to get it done. Went with the running mini-workout and a 2 mile run tonight. One of my best runs...

The theme of the month is patience. But not towards bugs.

2008-09-24T22:20:29Z

To the bugs in my apartment: These scare tactics won't work. I am unimpressed that you have found the ceiling. Good luck up there, assholes, I have a little step ladder and a shoe. You do the math. (And yeah, I've always sort of hated that expres...
