Today's Plan: yoga
Like a normal morning, events took longer than expected this morning and I decided to do yoga instead of running. Now, keep in mind that running two miles is less than 22 minutes. I did yoga for 26 minutes before I realized I should really get ready for work. I was only 3 minutes late! That was the amount of time it took to feed Charby on the way out the driveway.
For some reason, running away from the house makes me nervous if I don't have a lot of time. I feel as if something were to happen, I would never get back in time. When I do yoga in the living room, I can quit at any point if I start to run late.
I enjoyed my yoga quite a bit today. I did what I call "free yoga" where I pull moves from my DVDs and put them in whatever order I feel like.  I have been resisting the idea of yoga recently, I just haven't wanted to do get down on the floor and do it. As a yoga lover, it was rather odd. I think I have just been feeling stale about the routines I do.  This morning, however, I got that well twisted feeling after I was done. Makes me look forward to doing it again.
I have the same problem with other types of exercise too. Just doing the same thing over and over can become old quickly. Running the same paths, doing the same DVDs, performing the same weight moves, using the same elliptical, can all be extremely boring. Whenever I don't want to do a particular exercise, I know I need to do something different. Not necessarily a different exercise, just find a different way to do it so I can enjoy it again.
