I went to a yoga class on Friday night, and I ran on Saturday and yesterday mornings. The yoga class was an express restorative one, so it was only an hour, and we didn't do much moving around (which I was okay with at that point given how sore I was). But it felt nice to be back on my mat, and it re-lit my little yoga spark, so yay for that.
My running was definitely tough, but I felt great afterwards, and I can tell that my body is slowly shaking off the rust of the past ten years (that's how long it's been since I've run consistently for any period of time - and that was mandated by my soccer coaches). I fully expect it to take me a whole month before I feel any less awkward doing it. I think the race series will help me establish a routine, so I'm glad I signed up for it. :)
We (the girls) met up at the Quince YMCA yesterday for some pool and sun time. Annie, Amanda, and Mary swam quite a few laps, which was fun to watch. I went up and down the length of the pool a couple of times and then caught up in my book, haha. My legs were still protesting from the lunges I decided to do that morning (my hamstrings still hurt today). It was fun to hang out at the pool with everyone and get some exercise in, though! Now that we're all members of the Y together, we can start having little swim dates like that.
