Sorry it's been so long

Sometimes life just accelerates a little. One has to prioritize, and that means some things just have to wait. I have been continuing my practice, I just haven't made the time to write about it.

I spent a lot of last week feeling fatigued. It had been about five weeks since my last rest period, so maybe that's to be expected. I really had to struggle through a lower-body workout last week, and my mindfulness during yoga was just not good. I kept falling out of tree pose, and having to put my foot down during eagle. This is a case where I let the concerns from work interfere with my practice. It is a habit I fall into at times, and once again I must correct it. As Baron says, "as often as you forget, remember." Or Coach Ilg: "begin again, and again, and ever again."

This week I am resting, although I am sure I will still do some yoga and some running. Done right, those things are relaxing.

I have also been thinking a lot about my own exercise philosophy. If I was an instructor, or coach, or tutor, what would I be teaching my student? As I turn things over in my mind, incorporating what I've learned, and what I've experienced, a sketchy frame of a plan is fleetingly there, and gone again. In future posts I will elaborate, as my individual path makes itself known to me.
