Namaste

Last night we finally had some friends over! (Unpacking has reached near completion - we just need to get this boxspring out of the living room.)

Greg and his girlfriend Ellyn came over for Steak with Swiss Chard followed by Molten Chocolate Cake. It was nice to catch up with Greg and get to know Ellyn better - they are definitely a cute couple.

After they left we relaxed with some chamomile tea and Stewart/Colbert and then I got myself to bed early (Nick stayed up working on an important presentation this Friday), and got up at 5:30 for 6AM yoga.

I think I could really get behind morning yoga. I've usually only done yoga in the afternoon, but it is really nice to be so aware of your body first thing in the morning. This class was "Alignment Yoga" and was a nice pace, adjustments by the instructor, and a nice variety of poses. I ran 6K last night before dinner, so it was just the right activity for stretching out those muscles without overdoing it. I'll be climbing tonight too :)

OK - time to get dressed - I have a dissertating date with Clark!

Good call on the yoga over group strength. "We're going to do an extra-long set of lunges today!" was not the awesome-est way to begin my Tuesday.

Ugh! I mean, I get why lunges are good, but yeah - you feel that burn for a long time!

I loved my 6am yoga class at my old gym. The earliest classes at my current studio are at 7 or 7:30, which unfortunately just puts me at work too late to be feasible.

Exactly! This gym has at least three classes every day at 6 (a yoga, a group strength, and a cardio), so I want to cycle through them, but I think yoga is a nice way to start the day.
