Ashtanga Yoga Charlottesville

108 To-Do’s

December 17, 2010 by gracefulfitness 14 Comments

The snow is still here but it is time to get back to work!  I have a long to-do list and a pot of coffee brewing, it’s going to be a busy day.

COMMENT COMMIT Day 5

Amidst the flurry I will strength train with an Exercise TV workout, take a walk, and (as long as it’s not canceled) participate in 108 Sun Salutations at Ashtanga Yoga Charlottesville tonight.

If you are a yogi, have you ever heard of these 108 Sun Salute projects?  They used to occur in Portland once a year or so when I lived there.  I always wanted to participate but was a little nervous and always came up with a good excuse not to.  But tonight I am all in!  I just hope they don’t cancel due to weather!

What is your workout plan for the day?

Happy Friday!

I could tell it was going to be a good and gorgeous day even before I fully opened my eyes.  The sun has returned!  And with it, my motivation to RUN!

As an appetizer to lunch I had a yoga sandwich 🙂

My run-yoga-run was super delicious and filled with my best yoga class yet at AYC.  Tracy Wood led a challenging and fun noontime vinyasa filled with old favorites and new twists.  My balance was rock solid today and I felt oh-so-strong!  Love those days.  Running felt good too, although I winded fast on the hills.  Pre-yoga was 3 miles and post-yoga was 1.3.

I started getting hungry about mid-class so after a slow run home and a quick shower it was all about EATING!

Luckily I had a bunch of food made up so my plate was filled in about 55 seconds.

Leftover roasted butternut and delicata squash, roasted broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, and turnips, homemade sauerkraut, homemade hummus, and some avocado chunks.  Wow, it was very tasty but my eyes were bigger than my appetite and I ate about 3/4 of this (large) plate.

These little guys are popping up all over my yard!

I think they are a bit confused, I thought that crocuses bloom in the late winter/early spring?  Virginia must be extra special!  In any case, it’s awesome to have flowers busting through the fallen leaves.

I have never been into astrology but I happened to check my horoscope today in this weeks C-ville and it is SUPER relevant to my life right now.

It made me smile and remember that as life ebbs it will again eventually flow.

Time to get back outside in this beautiful day!  I am off to bike over to Kath’s for a walk.
