Yoga and stretching day

Today's workout:
30 minutes stretching and yoga

Well, tonight's version of "yoga" proves it. I am officially the least flexible person I know. I had to abandon one yoga workout on Exercise On Demand TV because it was too strenuous! So I decided to do the roller stretching instead. Ouch. Chris did find an EODTV workout that will be more stretching and not so much contortion. I'll try that one on Monday after my swim.

Yoga and stretching is always fun when you have two puppy dogs who have barely seen you throughout the week. "Mama! Whatcha doin? Can you tickle my belly now? Mama-why are you hanging upside down? Mama-can I lick your face now? Mama, mama-look at me rolling on my back underneath your downward dog! Mama-can I lie down under your plank? That roller sure looks like fun mama!"

So today I am tired. Just plain and simple tired. I think it's a combination of the increased workouts and the types of workouts along with not sleeping very well. Whenever I have to get up early, I wake up every hour  thinking I've overslept when in fact I still have 5, 3, 2 hours before the alarm goes off. I am excited to sleep tonight-we're biking at 10 tomorrow instead of 9 because K and W have a work holiday party tonight that goes pretty late. And knowing them they're sure to tie one on. Hahahahaha! J/K!!!!

Tonight I'm going to find a 35 mile route for us tomorrow on the bike. I think it's supposed to be pretty nice-around 75 degrees! Gotta love Austin winter! (At least for now...you never know what you're gonna get around here!) Sunday morning is going to be in the 30s for our run! High of 50 on Sunday.

Bonnie is on the trainer tonight up in Chicago. Says she's pretty bored at last report. She's watching the snow come down outside her window. We still have the doors open here at 6pm. It's a balmy 70 degrees still. K and W found out today that the pool at their condo building won't be heated anymore this winter. Not that it was really "heated" to begin with-their reports have been freezing cold water that even a wetsuit can't combat! Sounds like they're going to keep swimming in it though...they are already "Iron-Men" (computer voice here....from the you tube video that's too inappropriate to post) if they can pull off swimming outside year round!

My laundry is all done for the week. I still have to iron though. I wonder if it makes sense to iron on Friday nights in front of the tv or on Sat/Sun evenings so that Fridays can be even more relaxing. I guess I'll have to see what I feel like after a few weeks of the training.

Well, I guess that's about all to report for now. Kind of a lot-considering it's a "day off"!

Later gators!
