yoga kicked my butt
Feb. 25th, 2008 10:22 pmThat was hard. That was hard in so many different ways. Some moments were hard on muscles (esp calves, for some reason). Some moments were distinctly painful in my right knee, which I wasn't expecting because both knees have been so well-behaved lately. Some moments I just felt like a klutz. Some moments I felt grossly obsese, because there is just too much flesh in the way when I try to fold myself up in certain ways. Some moments I was on the verge of tears and had trouble keeping my concentration on what I was doing, including during most of the nice quiet breathing time at the end of the class.
Weirdly, despite all that, I liked a lot of it. All the parts that didn't actively hurt, I guess. And I feel really good now.
Except for occasional twinges in that knee. And my arms are starting to feel a little muscle-achey...
We'll see what tomorrow brings, particularly knee-wise.
One other problem I can tell I'm going to have is getting home at 9:30 or 9:45 and being all energized and not ready to settle down and go to sleep. Tonight this was exacerbated by getting a phone call, right as I walked in the door, from one of my fellow book-club-goers, to discuss carpooling to the movie tomorrow (yes, I'm going to the movie with my book club -- we read Atonement, now we're going to the Cerrito to see the movie :)
I haven't even taken my shoes off, I need to have a snack, and I'm already up past my bedtime. And tomorrow is going to be hell on wheels. Oh well. C'est la guerre.
