Hi from sunny and HOT California! Blogging from my phone today so forgive any weirdness. We are in Northern California hanging out with my brother who is headed off to the Navy on Thursday.
We are all really excited and slightly nervous for him. I don't imagine boot camp being easy. Thinking I might even be able to get him to do some races with me when he graduates!
Since we are in California for the week I am going to try my best to get my runs in. It is pretty hot here in the morning so I'll have to make sure I am up early. I did yoga with my mom this morning and its confirmed I am no yogi.
Honestly I just don't enjoy yoga, not my thing. The class was good and my mom's instructor was so nice. I am always amazed at all of the moves everyone can do and make them look effortless. While I tried my best I just look-a-fool out there. Glad I took the class but already looking forward to getting back to my running shoes tomorrow.
I had pictures to attach but I am a challenged phone blogger. Instead tell me if you have any experiences with the Navy or other branches of our military.
Yes, Northern Cali is so hot right now! I'm in Sacramento and it's over 100 again! Hope you enjoy your time in Norcal!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you do it! We are out of Sacramento in Pollock Pines and head to Sacramento today, eek!
DeleteI use to feel the same way as you on yoga, but i persisted with it and now I love it.
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons why I disliked it was because I actually found it really difficult, and found that it hurt to do some poses. Some people find that off putting and so never go back. I however persisted and now I'm like, it hurts, but hurts so good (as in tightness not pain).
It's freezing today, but then it's winter here, I could so go some heat.
I bet it is like all things we try new, I didn't exaxtly love running when I started out. I like the heat when I can go back inside to my air conditioning :)

ReplyDeleteHope you're enjoying North Cali!! I love it here so far!! And I hear you on the Yoga thing.....I've tried, really, really tried, for almost 6 months! I just have no patience to keep those poses! I'd rather be moving and pumping my legs or arms (or both)
ReplyDeleteWe are to ADD I think Amanda! Lol!!! So glad you are happy where you are at now.
DeleteI've tried yoga a number of times as well and cannot seem to get into it either. I think it is all about finding the right teacher/style, but I have yet to do so!
ReplyDeleteI think you're right! Yoga is a great form of exercise, meditation and stretching but like anything we have to find what works for us. I am sure I'll keep trying!
