POWER YOGA!

So my friend Dena suggested we go to POWER YOGA up here in Alaska. Why not? Yoga has been suggested to me by doctors, chiropractors, friends, enemies... I figure now was my time.

We went on Tuesday, and it kicked my butt! However, it felt so good on my back. It stretched me more than I've been stretched. It also made me realize how weak I am. Balancing on 1 leg shows you how weak that leg it. I also discovered that my left side is really weak. Do you see a trend yet? WEAK!

Now, on Monday and Wednesday I also went running. Elemendorf AFB has a BEAUTIFUL new gym with a track that is 1/10th of a mile. It's banked at the corners, so if I try hard I feel like I'm on a NASCAR track. Varoom!

Back to yoga though... We went back for another round of POWER YOGA pain today. It wasn't as fast, but worked different muscles. My arms feel is right now. I'm tired! I do love yoga though! I need to figure out how to put it into my daily life back at home. With my bad back, some work on my core muscles are needed.

Speaking of work... have I mentioned that I'm doing a half marathon next December in Vegas? Yup, Kari Kennedy strikes again! Who would have thought you'd be reading these things about me? Deeann, exercise, what???

You are like, the second person to talk about power yoga this week. Strange. I guess I need to check it out. My gym has a class on Sundays.
