Breathe in.... breathe out....

Sorry for my online-freak-out. I am feeling more centered and rational now. I have come to the realization that I will not be running for a week but I still will be great in the long run. The race on the 29th will be awesome due to the company and I will be proud of my efforts this year no matter what. My time goal is 31:o0.

I went to Yoga for the first time in a while. I have been sacrificing Yoga for Running and Yard Work during the past few months. Although I have enjoyed the extra time, I know that I have been off balance, trying to run further and further and not spending the time to listen to my body.

My yoga instructor was kind enough to structured the class to help my calves. Structured prolonged stretching is just what I needed.

I want to remember that Yoga should be the backbone of my fitness regime. It keeps me in tune with my physiology. I am still focused on a half marathon. I will do it. Yoga twice a week will help my focus, endurance, body alignment and balance. These things will help me avoid injury and meet my goal.

Yay!
