Where I Stand

Uh, Erin. Think you should be taking over this blog?

So, the half? Yeah, thinking it isn't looking realistic. My cardio is plummeting. I can't bring myself to swim or bike. And Disney won't let me switch out of the full at this point. So I would need to fork over another $90 or whatever it was, to register. But I would have 2 t-shirts then.

G has been training hard for her 100 meter dash. She takes laps around the house a few days a week. She also is pretty solid with her yoga skills which I think will help her out in the race.

As I become further away from running. And as the weather turns colder and more wintry...it is becoming easier to deal with the fact that I cannot run. I have gone on running hiatuses before and have come back from them. In the meantime, I am in love with my hot, sweaty yoga. I don't refer to it as Bikram because I think that Bikram is a particular type of practice, that this isn't. This is Power Vinyasa Yoga. And it is done in an exceptionally hot room. And I adore it. The metaphors that surface through the practice of yoga are grounding and centering. It aligns perfectly with my spiritual quest. I am head over heels in love. Which makes losing running a bit easier as well....

I hope all you runners out there are having good runs. I don't get jealous or sad when I hear my friends/family talking about running. I still consider myself a runner, so I do still enjoy running talk! And soon enough, I will be pounding the pavement again, with tales of my own runs.
