Saturday: Run and Yoga

Ivan in his GoGo Babeez Car Seat Adapter

So I am slowly having to come to terms with the fact that my current running status is nothing but a burden when I run with other people.  I am slower than slow, and I need to face and own it and get over it.  This morning, I deemed it ridiculous to get up and run with my running group when I was going to get in one good mile, before I started to fall apart and end up running the last five by myself and secretly walking the last half mile.  Then I stand around at the stretching wall to talk to everyone and someone, who shall remain nameless, thinks it is funny to ask if I am expecting twins and then my morning is ruined.

Last night, I actually slept horribly and then slept late and woke up feeling yucky and my morning at home was just as well.  I drank my glowing green smoothie, snacked on oatmeal, took Ivan for a bike ride on his coaster bike and then laid down for a bit of napping and such.  I needlepointed and tried to work out a difficult new stitch and got in an hour long yoga session.  The state of my confinement does get in the way of my yoga practice at various times, but I am still trucking through.

In the late afternoon, I packed up all my gear and hit the Maryland Farms YMCA for a treadmill run in the media room.   There is a huge media room at the Maryland Farms YMCA, and today they were showing The Little Fockers, which is not the best I have seen of Ben Stiller, and it actually totally embarrassed me after a while.  I did get in six miles, but those miles were pretty slow.  I had a fabulous gym shower and came home to continue my ebaying!!
