The return of the Yoga

Today I tried something different. I joined a “Yoga for runners” course. This is odd, because I’ve tried Yoga in the past, and I’ve never felt better since I stopped doing it. Really, the “sun salutation” made my legs hurt, and made running more difficult. I didn’t notice until I hadn’t been to Yoga for awhile that the pain in my shins wasn’t happening anymore.
But enough about the past. This course looked like it would be different. Mainly that there would be more young women in it. That there is. I am one of two guys in a class of about 25. The Yoga part of the class is very small. I might even say non-existent. All we did today was trail running. That meant very few paved trails, but through muddy slopes all around the river valley. And let me say, running through the bush is harder if you are tall. Those tall branches mean I have to crouch a lot of the way. Keep your balance, because some of those trails are missing the left side (also known as a cliff into the river).
