DY open mat

Last Sunday had a great class, just a few of us and spent the whole time doing arm balances and inversions, fantastic!

DY level 2 vinyasa and Tuscarora Trail

Last Saturday went to the morning class, a few hours later drove west to Tuscarora trail on the state line near Star Tannery. The trail was a lot less maintained and difficult to run on. About 4 miles.

PY hot yoga and AT @ Wolfsville rd MD

Went up to class on my day off. A sub was teaching, it wasn't as hard as usual but I asked for and got inversions at the end, and worked on my elbow stand some more. After that drove over to Wolfsville Rd AT access and ran south this time. Hill up was steep and rocky ridge on the top was slippery and impossible to run on, but the rest of the trail was good, pretty tired now. About 6 miles.

DY level 3 vinyasa

Class yesterday night wasn't overly upper body for a change. Not easy tho and I worked on elbow stand some more.

DY level 2 vinyasa

Wednesday night went to the class, not so hard, but that was OK for a change.

ACE spin and DY level 3 vinyasa

At lunch today took my sore quads thru a half hour of spin. Tonite another fine class, worked on the crow variation and tried elbow stand and even did it to some extent.

DY open mat

Class last night was wonderful, got a new crow alternate that I can do fairly well.

PY hot 5

Saturday went to a very sparcely attended class, had a very nice chat about yoga with Christa after. Class was great, felt wonderful after.

AT @ Ashby gap

After work last Friday ran from the lot at Ashby gap north. It was the greenest I have ever seen, ran about 4 miles.

DY level 3 vinyasa

Last Thursday class was great again, enjoying all of them lately.

AT @ Bears Den

After going to Quantico last Wednesday and getting done early, went to Snickers gap and ran south through Bears Den and south for a few miles. That section of trail is way too rocky for a decent run, but the creek at Spout run sure was pretty. About 6 miles.

ACE spin

Last Tuesday class after work, lots of sweating as usual.

DY level 3 vinyasa

Last Monday went to class at the tail end of my Apple Blossom 2 day hangover. Class was great tho, I'm loving all the arm balances and inversions.

Apple Blossom 10k

Man I'm behind on this. A week ago Saturday ran the much anticipated 10k in downtown Winchester. It was great, since I didn't train I didn't push myself very hard. I actually enjoyed it finished under an hour, had a great kick the final quarter mile. All in all a great race.

ACE spin and 3rd Winchester

At lunch today did the spin class, had the slow ride at the end. Trying to make up for my lack of running with the race looming, I ran after work. Ran all the trails at 3rd Winc., I'm guessing about 5 miles.

Old golf course

Yesterday at lunch ran on the golf course again. This time went over to the other side as well. Went around a cliff where the cart path had washed out, all the way to the east edge of the course, past the old clubhouse and back. About 4 miles.

AT @ Compton gap in Shenadoah pk.

Ran on the trail from the gap, north this time instead of climbing the mountain. It was nice, view from possums rest overlook was real nice, turned around at Tom Floyd wayside. A little over 5 miles, spring is about ready to bust out.

Hot 5 & AT @ AT @ Washington St. Pk, MD

Yesterday morning went to hot 5 class, harder than last week, loved it. After drove east to Boonesboro area and ran on the trail at Washington park. The monument is a trip, like a big stone coffee urn. Ran up and down a few hills heading north, probably 5 miles.

DY power yoga

Thursday night went to a pretty hard class, Jill asked me if it was level 2or 3, I said 2, probably was being a bit of a dick in retrospect.
