I woke up this morning earlier than I needed to (had to pee), so I thought for sure I'd run in the morning. Then I crawled back into bed and Breezy came up to snuggle. Well, that was it. I got warm and cozy again and really didn't want to get back up.
Had yoga this evening and we did some new stretches and a little strength training with these little frisbee-like discs. That was different.
Got home and new I had to run still. Went out a little fast as I just wanted to get it done. Lengthened my stride on the back end to try to slow a bit. Still ended up fast!
Ran 1.04 in 8:45 (8:23/mile pace).

Rain and wind
Woke up to hearing lots of rain and wind outside. I really wanted to run this morning as I have yoga tonight, but hearing this I wasn't really interested.
Took clothes with to work, just in case I got done with work at 5pm and could run in the All Saints gym before yoga. Well, that didn't work and I was still working at 5:40pm, so I just kept working. Stopped for an errand, then went to yoga with Sara. The first instructor was back so it was a very slow, relaxing hour of yoga. Some of the poses (i.e. Warrior II) hurt a bit due to the strain Anna put on my thighs the night before, but it was OK.
Got home from yoga and had to do my run. Went out for the standard loop. It was a beautiful night, low 60s and a perfectly clear sky with lots of stars. Definitely better than the morning. After the run, I just laid on the driveway for a few minutes as I know within days or weeks, it will turn towards winter and be too cold to enjoy these types of evenings.
Ran 1.02 in 9:00 minutes (8:50/mile pace)

Something new
Got up this morning and went for our morning run. It's really getting chilly in the mornings now.
Ran 1.02 mile in 8:59 (8:51/mile pace--again).
Then tried something new. Sara and I signed up for some studio classes with Synchronicity. Tonight was the class we talked about going to-- a Yoga Mix class. It's supposedly a basic yoga class with a little extra (some free weights and other accessories). I've never done yoga so it was a little different and I didn't know what to expect. It was a good relaxing session with some great stretching. I think going to yoga the note on the night after a weight session is a great idea. Since I'm typically starting to get sore about 24 hours after lifting, doing yoga stretching right then was tough, but felt so good.
