I Think I Can, I Think I Can…
I really want to be the kind of person who runs and does yoga. In my mind, those two exercises are very complementary. Ideally, I would run at least four times a week for approximately 30 minutes and do 15 minutes of yoga at least three times a week. (Editor’s Note: I realize 15 minutes of yoga does do real yoga much justice, but at least it’s a start, right?)
The running part is the easiest because of our beloved bloodhound, Hoss. He needs to run every day, so Matt and I divide up who takes him. He’s my responsibility on Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The yoga part is a little harder. I love, love, love my video of Ashtonga yoga
I think the trick might be to do it at the same time every day (on my non-running days). So, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I should come straight home from school and do yoga. Period. Before my snack. Before checking my e-mail. Before calling my best friend. Y-O-G-A.
Okay, I’ll give it a shot…

Doing it first thing after you get home is a perfect plan – I am sure you will succeed! And if you did, please tell me about it! I am pretty good about running in summer, but once fall and winter settle in, I am a lazy bum… I have a Pilates-DVD and really should get back to it – but I am more of a morning-exerciser which means getting up at 5.30 – ouch! I think I'll give it a try again…

Hmm, I have a yoga DVD too, though it's not ashtanga. I like to go to Urban Jungle MWF, but Jess prefers I only go 2x/week 🙁 Maybe I should start doing DVDs in the meantime 🙂 If you need a yoga buddy, let me know!
