Towpath @ Shepherdstown and DY open mat

This morning drove up to Shepherdstown WV and ran on the C&O canal towpath. Struggled a bit since I haven't hardly run since all the snow started. Very beautiful place tho, along the banks of the Potomac, I will come back after it get warmer. This afternoon went to open mat class. Failed on some arm balances, got tons of criticism on poses, it was really a bit of a drag.

YT power hour

Yesterday morning went to class at the new location in the bike shop. The floors were sheets of splintery plywood, due to the busted pipes I guess. Great class, very fast flow, I really love her classes.

ACE spin

Lunchtime spin class at work on Friday. Good workout for only a half hour, got a sideache even.

DY power yoga

Power class on Thursday night. Very nice class again.

DY all levels vinyasa

Good, sweaty class after work tonite, I'm tired as hell right now.

DY boga

This morning tried to run at 3rd winchester, sadly it was under 1-2 feet of snow. I made it less than a mile in before giving up, tore up my shin pretty nicely. Boga was good tonite, great food, nice conversations.

DY power yoga

Last night went to power yoga class. Pretty much kicked ass, Jill got it right for sure.

ACE spin and DY all levels vinyasa

Last Wednesday went to a spin class after a long absence. It was nice, using the new pedals. That night went to yoga, not very hard at all, everyone was bitching to take it easy, weird.

DY advanced vinyasa

Last Monday went to class with my wonderful daughter. It was a bit of a bitch, and after class she said that she liked that better than the hard classes we did in phx, that it was more of a stretchy class. I must be off my game, I thought it was hard!

AT @ Snickers gap and DY open mat

Around lunch today ran from the vdot commuter lot at Snickers gap up to Bears den and around the general area. Tried and failed to find the continuation on the north side of route 7, found it on the way out it my truck. The fresh, powdery snow made it a difficult run to say the least. A couple hours later went to class. It sure is nice to have the body coming back finally, another of those workshop type classes, but I could do everything without major difficulty and even sat in thunderbolt which was physically impossible about 4 days ago.

DY morning buzz

Yesterday morning went to class after a weeklong hiatus for my poor, sad knee. It is mostly better after getting 50cc's drained out of it on Wednesday and the shot of cortesone. Class was fine, no major pain or anything.

DY open mat

Yesterday afternoon, a few hours after finding out Rich died this weekend, went to open mat class. Spent almost the entire class going over fine details of the namascar a and b poses. I would have enjoyed it but I was hugely depressed and my knee and elbow were absolutely killing me.

PY hot 5 and AT @ Greenbrier State Park, MD

Got up early this morning and went to yoga at Padma. Much different class from last week, she really kicked my ass. After I drove east down 40 to Greenbrier State Park, and picked up the AT there. Followed blue blazed from the vistor center up brutal steep hill to the trail, then south for a couple miles to some big rocks with a nice view. About 5 miles.

AT @ Ashby gap and Boga

Yesterday I waited for the snow and sleet to stop in the early afternoon and drove down 50 to the AT. Every branch was encased in ice, it was really beautiful. I went south and made it up above Sky Meadows, About 4 miles. Later had a fun boga night.

DY power yoga

Thursday nights class was difficult with the damn knee still all swollen up. It wasn't too hard tho so that helped.

DY yin

Last night tried to take it easy on my fucked up knee and went to stretchy yin class taught by Gina. I liked the class but my knee really, really hated it.

YT power hour

Monday morning drove to Purcellville for an hour class, still in the pavilion. Wiped me right out again as usual, then spent the afternoon in Glenn in DC.

AT @ Chester gap and DY open mat

Last Sunday drove down to Front Royal, parked by Front Royal lake and ran on the AT. Snowy for about half the route. It was up a hill and down to the stream on the other side, where I turned around. About 4 miles. A couple hours late went to open mat class that turned out to be a true workshop, mainly about arm balances.
