yoga, running and friends

The yoga studio I teach at hosted an open house to draw more clients. The night before we had a cleaning party at the studio...

At the open house, there was a professional photographer - these pictures used with permission from the amazing Aieesa.

one of my favorites, side plank (by the way, this picture has inspired me to work out my upper body with hubs bc he pushes me harder and by the looks of that arm flab, i need a drill Sargent)

In related news, I ran my yearly 5k race. In the four years we have lived in TX, this is my third year running in this particular race. This year, I drug Beth out with me (running mate extraordinaire and another BFF to bless my life). She won overall for the women (because she is like a gazelle!) and I won my division.

This race also marks my respite from outdoor running. From now until the weather chills out (get it, chills out? hahahaha) I will be found at the gym, probably on the elliptical - maybe the bikes, who knows? We'll see what tickles my fancy that day. Anyway, I've had it with waking up while its still dark, trying to beat the rising sun like a vampire and still feeling suffocated by the heat and humidity.

What sort of fitness are you into now?
