Vegas yoga bonk

Yesterday morning I had the genius idea of running to the Bikram on the strip studio, doing a class and running back to the Hilton. I ran there, about 2 miles. The studio turned out to be pretty seedy compared to the Tempe place, and the staff wasn't very friendly. About half way thru the standing series I started having real problems doing poses, getting extremely woozy. I had to sit out some of the last poses. After a couple floor poses I had to get up and leave the room, never done that before. I laid down and missed about 1/3 of the floor series, came back in and finished the remaining poses after camel. After class I sat around for a half hour trying to recover enough to run back to the hotel. I got about 50 steps and realized that wasn't going to happen, I ended up walking the whole way back, catching the monorail for the last bit. What a drag, I haven't abused myself like that in a long, long time.

Vegas run

Around noon today ran a loop from the Hilton to Paradise, Sahara, Maryland, Desert Inn, Joe W Brown and back to the hotel. About 3.6 miles, it was very hot out and I got to see some of the seedier parts of Vegas close up.

Yoga

9am yoga this morning with Carissa and Reba teaching. Bought her a 25 pack and merged our accounts so I can use them if she doesn't, plus got 20% first week discount, so it's all good. I'm at the airport now waiting to get on the plane for Vegas, wOOt!

Spin

Spin class after work with JJ, she really does teach a good class, very motivating.

short Notre Dame

Today at lunch ran approx. 3 miles from Horizon park to Notre Dame prep, around the school and back. It was well over 100 degrees out, my first real hot run of the year. No problems tho, all went well.

Yoga with Carissa

This morning took Carissa to the 8am class, Reba was teaching. She did fantastic and I was so proud. At one point Reba said that she wished someone had taken her to yoga when she was 17 and how cool it was that I was doing that. It was one of the nicest things I have heard in a long time. Carissa said that she like it and wanted to keep doing it, so we will see what happens.

Spin

This morning went to Beth's 8:30 class at the Chandler gym. Didn't turn out to be a particularly hard class, music was pretty good tho. After taking Carissa to see my mom went and golfed 9 at Shalimar with Jordan, hot as hell but it was real fun.

Yoga

4:30 class today with Shoosh. She is easily the most laid back, non judgemental instructor I have ever had there. Didn't matter tho, I still killed myself.

QWTJ

This morning before work ran the QWTJ loop. It wasn't hot out yet, the run was real nice and my time was better than the recent ones.

Spin

Yesterday after work went to JJ's spin class, good hard class with lots of sprints.

Yoga

4:30 class with Reba. I really like her class, it was a really sucky stressful day and the yoga really helped.

Yoga

Yesterday morning went to 8am class with Helena. After that played frisbee golf with the boy and swam for awhile. It was a real nice fathers day.

Spin

Went to Heidi's 9:30 spin class this morning. She teaches a great class, one of my favorite instructors.

short golf sign and a half

Before work this morning ran approx. 3 mile from Horizon park to halfway between the signs on Westworld trail, it was nice out.

Yoga

4:30 yoga class today with Ben, good class.

Ringtail

At lunch yesterday ran the Ringtail loop. It was pretty hot but things went fine. Today I got the news that my mom has about 2 months to live, so working out didn't quite fit into the schedule.

Yoga

Day before yesterday went to 4:30 yoga with Elaina, good class.

Yoga

This morning went to 8am yoga with Amy. I'm getting better at adapting to that slippery carpet, I was sweating out a hangover like crazy today tho.

QWTJ forwards

Before work yesterday morning ran that loop again, it was all good. After work Jordan and I played 9 holes of disc golf at papago, we threw our frisbees in the water at least 8 times.

Spin

JJ's spin class after work tonite, good workout, crappy music.

QWTJ backwards

Ran the loop at the golf course again at lunch, this time the other direction. It was a little hot out but the run went well, no problems.

Yoga

Went to 4:30 class today with the owner Elaina. Class really kicked my ass today, I had to take some breaks towards the end, haven't done that since the first few times.

Spin

9am spin class with Debra this morning. The Tempe bikes really, really suck, but it was the hardest class I have had in awhile, heart rate over 150 for about 40 minutes.
