...me!

Hello my fellow readers. Sorry I've been MIA lately...life has spun by and I didn't realize how long it had been since I last blogged. A little update on what I've been up to...

Running
Work
Yoga
Sleep
REPEAT

My yoga practice has improved over the past couple of weeks. I've started attending one of the harder classes when I can. Here are a few moves I am now able to do.

This move is called crow and we do it for 2 minutes. I haven't been able to hold it the full 2 minutes, but I am pretty dang close!!!

This position is part of an advancement of the pigeon pose. I went to the harder class on Friday where we were doing this pose. I stayed in the beginners stage because it was only my 2nd time to see this particular class, and my instructor encouraged me to try this pose. I looked at her like she was crazy and ended up trying it to prove her wrong. WELP....I proved myself wrong!!! I can totally do this and it didn't even hurt! The next advancement is doing it with no hands. I think it'll be a while till I get there.


I've really enjoyed my yoga practice; it's the bickram yoga. (Hot yoga) Sadly, there have been no celebrity sightings since my last encounter with Romo & Witten.

Another little update is that I've started reading Extraordinary & Ordinary People, a memoir by Condolieeza Rice. I saw her on the Today show talking about her book, and was so intrigued I went and bought it! I'll let you know what I think after I finish it.
(I know...I look bored in this picture, but really...how does one pose with a book????)
