Why I need to do Yoga

Saturdays are my long run days until my next half marathon and somehow I managed a 9 min. mile pace/10 miler Saturday morning. Naturally Kyle sent me a message as soon as I got done and said he was bringing Kelly down to climb. We can't say no to climbing. It is just too.fun. When's the last time in life I pushed through fatigue to go participate in something for fear of being left behind? The sad answer would have to be bar hopping in college.

So we went.

I was more tired than I wanted to admit.

Let's just say I got really mad at my husband for missing a shot of me getting my fingertips hooked into the blue hold on the snake (my latest goal - it's a tough one). That's when I knew I was probably a little too tired.

On the other hand, I think it's a good post run activity to keep things stretched out. Maybe after a shorter run next time. And I need a day where we resolve to just go and boulder a couple of hours so I can work on some core strength.

JACK just keeps getting more amazing with every climb, so we're thinking he might need to join the kids' climbing club. How cool would that have been as a kid??  He was up that wall ten times in a row, with tiny breaks in-between.  He has taken to taunting me (need to get that video up) and it is effective. 

I love doing this on weekend nights with the gang. Has been the best winter ever. You just can't be depressed while doing this.

  1. That's a great reason to do yoga!

    My favorite thing about yoga is that Tom & I can attend the same classes together and address our respective issues, side by side. It's been great for our relationship and the individual physical, mental, emotional benefits have been amazing!

    You'll be free-climbing Arizona canyons in no time!!
