Yoga

Looks like Tuesday's Spartacus workout was a bit harder than I thought it was -- woke up Wednesday morning with extremely sore hamstrings. Sitting in an office for 9 hours probably didn't help any, but by the end of the day I wasn't feeling up to the run I had planned. So instead I took the dog for a nice long walk -- about 3.4 miles down the hill and back. By the time we got back my legs were tired and he was panting -- it's still hot out there!

Legs are *still* sore today, so I've decided to switch things up a bit and try my hand at yoga. Awhile back I bought a daily-deal for one of those monthly boxes-o-things. The one that came in June contained (among other things) one free download from yogadownload.com. I'm new to the site, but everything is fairly clearly laid out. Each class is ranked according to level of difficultly and the level of effort involved. Seeing as how I'm clearly no yogi I've chosen a class designated for the 'Advanced Beginner' -- I've decided that means its meant for someone that knows how (theoretically) to do the crow but can't hold it for more than about 2.3 seconds. I've also chosen the 'Bring a Towel' intensity level because, honestly, I'm not going to waste (free) money to have someone tell me to lay on my back and breathe for 15 minutes. And finally, I'll be doing this routine in my house with the air conditioning blasting, because I think 'hot yoga' is exactly like experiencing first hand what Ixion deals with in the firey depths of Hades.
