My back was still slightly sore from Saturday's kettlebell class, so I decided to take it easy today. My upcoming Team in Training running coach (who I happened to meet when buying my running shoes) had said that people often get excited when training for marathon's, tend to work too hard right away, and then sometimes hurt themselves. He also said that he actually preferred for people to wait to begin training until the official training starts at the beginning of February. But, my "team" is probably typical, getting excited and wanting to train hard now.
However, I am keeping in mind what the coach said. So, with my back still a bit sore, I decided not to run today. Instead I simply went to yoga class (missed Dana :( because she had an evening meeting at her work, but David was there.)
Personally, I was happy to have our regular Monday yoga teacher back from her yoga retreat. Although she's not the favorite of the two teachers we have, the substitute we've had for the last three Monday's was definitely not ideal for me. So, in addition to appreciating this teacher's return, I was also happy that she came back with new poses for us to do. None of them bothered my back at all and the class seemed to fly by, since I had to pay such close attention to what we needed to do. It was not only nice to mix-it-up, it was much better for me to have the easier flow today as our Tuesday/Wednesday yoga teacher usually kicks our butts!
After yoga class was over I felt pretty good. As I said, I didn't want to run, but did decide to walk on the treadmill for awhile, just to get some miles in. So I walked an easy two miles. I then came home and had some soup.
Tonight I feel really good. I'm not feeling any pain and thinking I will be good for tomorrow's more intense yoga class. I won't be running tomorrow either, because we have our Weight Watchers weigh-in and meeting after class. Fingers crossed, my weight will be down a little :) Until later...
