Sweating it out
I went to a bikram yoga class last night, after a long absence from bikram practice. It felt a lot harder than I remembered! Despite the unpleasantness, though, I’m going to try to go back at least once more this week. Now that we’re living downtown I can walk to one local studio – and am a short bus ride from three others! – so I really have no excuse.
I practiced bikram fairly regularly when I lived in Banff and I’ve probably never been in better shape than I was back then. In addition to whipping my body back into shape, I’m hoping getting back into practice this fall will alleviate some of the nagging muscle problems I’ve had with my shoulders (too much geeking out in front of a computer) and hips (too much running).
Sponsor me in the Lung Run
After a winter of sloth I have actually been pretty good at the exercise thing this summer. Living by the seawall (the best place in the world to go for a jog!) definitely helps.
Anyhow, I am off to Halifax this weekend to visit friends and family and I’ve signed up for a 5k while I am there. If you feel so inclined, I would love if you would sponsor me for the first annual Atlantic Lung Run. Funds raised by the run will go towards enhancing awareness of Asthma and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and raising funds to support Camp Treasure Chest – The Lung Association’s summer camp for children with moderate to severe asthma.
