I ran 6 kms this morning before breakfast (which was the best bowl of oatmeal ever btw) and then later I went and had the best hot yoga class ever! I feel fan-friggin-tastic my friends! It was a gorgeous day here which was a surprise because they said it was going to rain, so when it was sunny and warm this morning I figured I'd better make the best of it while it was around, so that prompted my run which was around 8:30 and it being Sunday, it was my regular day for hot yoga, and Farm Girl and I went to the Breathing Spaces in Bedford and it was the instructor who owns the yoga studio that was instructing the class and the class was jam packed. She was great. I really appreciate it when the instructors don't take themselves so seriously 100% of the time and say things to make you laugh a bit here and there so that you don't take yourself as seriously too. Apparently there was a group of the Lululemon employees there getting their yoga class in, so that's why it was a bit more crowded than usual. We are all jamed in like sardines "India style".
Oh and FYI, even if you tell your heart rate monitor to be "silent" it still beeps when you're getting into your "zone" and it's not a good idea to try to wear it to yoga class :-S. I tried to pull that one last week to see how many calories I burn doing hot yoga and that damn thing kept beeping in the beginning when I was getting into that "zone" and I was so embarrassed and I had to fumble and turn it off....a big no no at yoga!
Cheers to a wonderful Spring week!

Look at you go, girl! I took the new Garmin out for a run yesterday (4.3K) and again for a walk in the sunshine today (6.5K). Now if I could only do something about the snow here....
Off to do some yoga myself!
H =)
Quite the productive day! The change in weather definitely brightens the mood and gives that added burst of enegery.
Have a great week!
wow! power workout girl today! congrats amazing effort!
You are awesome, which only makes me suck even more (=
Yay Ang! How's the hip doing today after all that running?
Thanks guys! Tasha: I'm sad to say I got the pain again BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Although I think it's not nearly as bad since I did the hot yoga last night. We did some major hip opening and butt work which I think helped stretch it out.
I'm seriously bummed about this problem. Not.Fair. But any time I feel "woe is me" I remember that we are lucky to be alive and walking, and that's that.
I'm sorry to hear about the hip pain... I was wondering if that would be an issue for you since you started running again. I'm in the same boat - due to my knees I can only do low impact exercise. It's a bummer but there are lots of fun ways to stay active without pain.
My yoga teacher is awesome because she has an easy-going sense of humor. Like if we come out of a pose badly, she'll say we have to work on our dismount. :-) Last week in class a lady's cell phone kept going off in her purse, and I couldn't believe that she didn't even try to get up to turn off the ringer!
6Kms?!
WOW, you GO girl!!!! That is awesome! And glad you took advantage of the nice weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woot woot! Can't wait for the Bluenose (or better yet the breakfast afterwards!) Awesome job Angie!
Watch *your step* pardon the pun. You don't want to overdue it at first. 6 km is alot of running, BUT BOY AM I PROUD OF YOU GIRL.
WOO HOO!! Way to go YOU! Talk about rising and shining! Wish I could brag the same thing but so far all I've done is make the kids breakfast, pack their lunches, down some yogurt, drink a cup of coffee and now I'm plunked here!
