Yoga Sucks!

Yoga sucks?!?!?  Not really but it is very hard. 
I went to my second yoga class of 2014.  I got one of those Groupon offers for a 10 pack of yoga classes for something like $35 and decided that flexibility was something that I could use. 
So here is what I have learned:
1.  I am NOT flexible.  The many many years of running have made my hamstrings into one solid mass.  I try and try to stretch them out but so far, nothing.  I am hoping that there will be some improvement over the next eight weeks.
2.  Yoga is hard!  It looks easy but I promise you that it is not.  Try balancing on one leg while keeping your upper body parallel to the floor (Airplane pose).  At one point I thought my airplane was going to crash into the nice bamboo yoga floor. 
3.  Yoga is popular.  6:00 am class and it was packed.  Not a dry spot on said Bamboo floors. 
4.  Yoga is hot!!! I'm not sure what the exact temp of the yoga room is but at one point I had sweat dripping off me at an alarming rate. 
5.  Yoga is fun.... and I can't wait to punish myself next week. 

With yoga and a few runs in this week, I am finally feeling like training has started.  Now it is time to shed some pounds.  (like 30 of them!!!!!!!!!). 

Ride On,
Steve
