Ricole Runs (Sometimes): Who Am I? A Flexible Person, That's Who.

Who Am I? A Flexible Person, That's Who.

I've been to THREE yoga classes this week. THREE. Count them, it's ridiculous and definitely a new record. Who in the world do I think I am? A flexible person, apparently.

It started on Sunday, when I ran 7 miles and then went to (regular) yoga after. That's 1 of only 2 runs during November ladies and gents. In October I ran 101 miles. Halfway through November and I've ran 13. Stellar. But that's the point, I'm resting (for the most part).

Then I saw a Groupon for 20 Hot Yoga classes for $20. And so we are now onto Method #1,053,487 of fixing my hamstring. My chiro sessions have come to a halt as they're not exactly free. 20 hours of yoga is way cheaper than 20 hours of chiro.

Also, hot yoga is really freaking hot. In case you weren't aware.

In other news, Saturday is the Mustache Dache! 80% chance of rain and upper 40's coupled with my slow running and it only being a 5k will likely result in me being VERY cold. But it will be a blogger festival that involves wearing mustaches and brunch, so it sounds like a GRAND time to me! I can't wait!

Will you be there? Do you do hot yoga?

I am proud of you for sticking hot yoga out. I never tried it, but heard that it was hard. My co-worker went once and she said that it was awful. I should really do some type of yoga for flexibility, but then again I am just lazy. :-)

Yoga exacerbates my shin problems! ...Though it seems to mostly be one instructor who's a bit obsessed with downward dog. I did well with a different instructor who didn't force me into downward dog as much. I like yoga, but hate being hot. I don't think that hot yoga is for me.

I don't do any yoga...I'm starting to feel it might be my 2013 resolution.

I used to be all about yoga....then I started not working from home and got lazy and never go anymore. I really do like it, and I think it's SO GOOD for injuries just like yours, but if it's a choice between a run and yoga for me..well, we know how that story ends.

Also, I've been to hot yoga once and I can't decide if I loved it or really hated it?? It is SO HOT. But kind of theraputic also?

See you tomorrow!!

I was kind of addicted to hot yoga for about 6 months about 10 years ago. It started with the 10 classes for $10 intro offer (just like a drug pusher, right?). And ended after a 100 classes in 100 days challenge during which time I traveled on three separate occasions for a week or more and still managed to get 90 classes in. It had taken over my life. But I felt amazing :)

Have fun with it!!!! I so badly would LOVE to start going again...maybe next year when all of my kids are finally in school every day :)

That link is hysterical. I LOVE love love hot yoga. I really got into it before we moved away. They don't have it here which stinks, but it gets to like 110 outside here in the summer so we can probably just do it outside? ;-)
