Power Yoga

I decided I need to lay off dancing because my ankles have started to hurt. I dont want to tear ligament, its an awful experience my mum had to go through. So I suspended my gym membership for March and decided from now it shall be just yoga. Power yoga of course. It gives one the most beautiful arms.

I still have a month's worth of classes at Yogaffinity. The novelty of hot yoga wore off quite soon after I joined. The routine was the same every class and aren't challenging nor fun. But their power yoga sessions, though few, are great.

I have a vague desire to do a half marathon year end. I would at least like to do it without being a disgrace to myself. I think it is ambitious for someone who has done only 1 10k race outdoors in her life, and stays in the comfort of an air conditioned gym the rest of the time.

Ambitious but no less achievable. I have 10 months to prepare. To motivate myself I got this pair of NB shoes with cushion like pillows hoping to reduce impact on my 30s joints. Currently things are going slow. :-p

I am doing the treadmill max twice a week and cannot run longer than 6km before sharp uncomfortable sensations (read: pain) hit my knees. That is if shin splints don't come first. I have start slow @ 8km /hr. If at 2.4 km there are no signs of shin fatigue, it means I can probably go on.

But I can definitely dance and jump about non-stop for 2 hours, which hopefully means I may last 2 hours of running. So far this case hasn't been proven.
