Weekly Training Recap

I promised myself I would get out of bed for the last week of ashtanga yoga. So 4:45am I was up and at em for class. It was so cold out that by the time I got back after class, I snuggled up with Kyle and Ollie in the covers and fell back asleep until 9am. Can every day be like this?

Wednesday I woke up early for class again and I already miss my early morning ashtanga crew!

After work on Wednesday I hit the running group for a tempo run. I almost went sub 9 for a 5k. Whoop.

Friday I had the day off so I attended ALLOFTHECLASSES. Starting with a shake and flow class at noon.

And then I was back to the studio a few short hours later for an awesome power vinyasa class.

Saturday I considered running after work until Ollie made it very clear that she wanted to snuggle with her mama. I listened.

Sunday I woke up early for a super stellar power vinyasa yoga class.

 I had every intention of running right after, but somehow that ended up being 6 hours later. Oops. I did manage to run my longest run since the marathon in Bemidji (what?!?!) and at a great pace for me.

Weekly Training Recap

Monday I skipped my usual gentle vinyasa class to instead sit in and observe the class. As part of my yoga teacher training requirements, I need to take 30 classes with approved teachers (nbd), observe 10 classes with approved teachers (eeps!), and assist 10 classes with approved teachers (double eeps!). I figured I should get going on the requirements. However, after spending 18 hours in the yoga studio throughout the weekend, it felt like I hadn't left when I rolled in Monday morning!

Tuesday I was grumpy so I skipped my weekly barre date with Emily. Wednesday I had to go to work early for training, so I was able to go to a 5:30pm barre class. The class was taught by one of my yoga teacher training classmates. She's a fairly new instructor, and she ROCKED the class. It was so amazing and hard.

Friday I had the day off from work so I did a lunchtime shake and flow class: 30 minutes of barre followed by 30 minutes of vinyasa flow. I love these classes because it's easier for me to push myself really hard in the first 30 minutes knowing I don't have to "save myself" for a full 60 minutes of class.

Later in the day, I went to a power vinyasa flow class. It was awesome and I left dripping in sweat with a smile on my face and a song for Kyle and I to walk down the aisle to (more on that later).

I hope you all had a hoppy Easter!
