Second Gear: Down Dog

Getting over an injury is new to me, gratefully. I'm attempting to ease back into more active living. I went to my first yoga class on Sat and another tonight. I did an easy 2 mi. run Sun. My training for The Revel Rockies marathon doesn't start for two more weeks but it has felt so good to break a sweat the last three days. It just makes me happy.

One of my least favorite words is atrophy. It's matched almost by lazy. I struggled mightily tonight on my mat, but I showed up and I tried. It's called practice and I usually spend an entire class trying to remember that. To me it just doesn't make sense why with a limited time to use this body, I wouldn't want to find out how much it can do. If you got to drive an amazing sports car on a deserted highway, wouldn't you want to floor it?  I may be wobbly, sore, and not going as far just yet, but I am glad to have it in gear.
