Week 12: Day 5

cardio:

• trail/road run (@ 7:15am) = 2.47 miles, time = 26:52, pace @ 10:53

strength training:

• yoga (@ 9:30am) = 1 hour

I haven't ran in two weeks or so, mainly because I "ran" out of motivation. I also got sick last week and my legs/knees were still somewhat sore this morning from Wednesday's strength training. I liked the idea of running before yoga because it would loosen/warm up my legs for yoga. I also thought that running with a mild cold would help get rid of it. You would think that these were good reasons and motivations to get me out for a run. While it did get me out, my motivation seemed worse than before. I don't know if it helped/worked on getting rid of any bit of my cold or if it was all in my head, but it helped with the soreness in my legs/knees and I felt a bit more flexible/looser.

At some point in yoga class today, strong, we did head stands. We also had to get into a crow after the head stand to which most people couldn't do and it wasn't an easy thing to do because you would need a good core. Going from crow to a head stand was the easier part, to do it in reverse wasn't. I can finally go to a crow after the head stand after many tries. Now, I just need to work on getting into a crow after a head stand a little more smoothly and I'm going to work on it at home!
