Wow! Was it ever hard to get out of bed today. I probably stayed up a little later than I should have. Then I got the girl up to eat at 12:30 and 4:30, consequently getting out of bed didn’t seem as pressing an issue. Of course, once I made it downstairs and started the morning routine I felt ready to go. Unfortunately there was no way I was going to have time to do the full 90 minutes. I thought about doing One on One Yoga or a cardio routine, but decided to stick with the Yoga X that was already in the DVD player. (I put the DVD in the night before so it’s one less step in the morning.) I made it through the sun salutations and one balance move, about 50 minutes worth.
Disappointed that I didn’t get the last 40 minutes done. But, 50 minutes of working out is still nearly an hour. And, if the kiddos go to bed early tonight I have the easier balance and stretch sections left, which would actually be a pretty good pre-bedtime workout.
I’m getting so close to doing the chaturanga move. I can get down now, but the pushing through motion just isn’t happening. The oddest part about today was that my right ankle was fairly unhappy. I’ll need to work on stretching that area more. It’s the muscle just in front of the Achilles, which I injured by overuse about 4 years ago when training for a marathon.
Time limitations and pain aside, I’m feeling good. I pushed my limits and I broke a sweat.
