Forgotten Muscles
I did 40 minutes of power yoga via a podcast that Allie recommended on her blog yesterday. Dave Farmar's power yoga. Now I have not done ANY yoga for quite some time. I have been so focused on lifting heavy, etc, that yoga has kind of slipped away. And I love it and how it makes me feel. One of my 101 goals is to establish a twice per week yoga practice. So when I saw about the podcasts, I figured that might be a good way to get back into it and work on it and see what kind of habits I can create before I think about spending another arm and a leg on classes.
I followed up my yoga with a protein shake.
It was just vanilla whey. A GNC brand that I had not tried before. Pretty delicious, but I actually read the instructions on the tub as I was making it and it said one scoop with 6 oz of water. Whoa. That is a MUCH tinier shake than I have been drinking. I have been doing 1.5 scoops with 20 oz of water. I made it properly and it was much quicker to drink!
Yeah, I woke up this morning after sleeping like a ROCK at 4:34 am for my run. My alarm gets louder as it goes off longer, and by the time I actually heard it, it was loud and Teek was losing it. She was jumping all over the place waiting for me to get up. I rolled onto the floor and turned the alarm off. I contemplated getting back in bed, but I had to use the restroom. And after that, I was up, so I threw on my tights and my fleece lined top before heading downstairs to finish getting ready.
My legs felt like lead. I only had three miles scheduled, but holy crap, that is the most tired my legs have felt in AGES! Maybe not training legs too much during this marathon training is a mistake. But heck, apparently yoga will train them good! lol. I stretched out a lot after my run (3.01 miles in 29:04), and things are feeling quite a bit better now, so that is good.
It was a chocolate protein overnight oats in a jar day!
Disgusting looking and oh so delicious.
Have a great day everyone. J and I have a date planned for tonight. We're going to dinner and then to see Billy Elliott at the theater!
