backaches and rest days
This morning’s yoga class was good. Tonight, though, I’m irritated. Not because of the yoga class. More like the irony. Honestly, I’ve been doing well at working out, challenging myself, REGULARLY, in the past week or so. I’ve been running, not … Continue reading
yoga and sleep
I am EXHAUSTED today so this probably won’t make much sense. I woke up early for yoga today and had a GREAT yoga class. Really worked my muscles hard! Tried to do some core exercises when I got home but … Continue reading
under the weather
Contrary to popular opinion, I haven’t disappeared. I HAVE, however, been somewhat ill. Yesterday, for the first time EVER, I had to leave yoga early. I was fighting a headache from the beginning, and then after about 30 minutes or … Continue reading

climbing walls and mountain runs
This morning I got to spend an hour on a climbing wall- you know, those (comparatively) super-safe indoor walls with handholds bolted into the wall every few feet. I actually didn’t do as much climbing as it sounds- only 3 … Continue reading
horseback riding
I’m not sure if this exactly counts as fitness, but this afternoon I went horseback riding. I was invited to go with one of my cousins, her husband, and her two daughters, and I had a blast. I was on … Continue reading
canoeing, balloons, and stuff
Today we went canoeing, which was lots of fun. The retreat where we are staying has a small reservoir and a dozen or so canoes, and myself and my extended family took over all of them. I was in a … Continue reading
