Day Three

It was great, sweaty as always and I am REALLY sore! My core and my legs are killing but its that good kind of miserable feeling, you know? Just kept telling myself to persevere and it would pay off…and it did.

What made it even more difficult was that my mat got destroyed by glowsticks at the lululemon athletica Calabasas’s ONTHE12th event…but it was well worth it. That being said, my mat is SO slippery— I’ll be getting a new one tomorrow at work! Yay.

My slippery mat…soon to be RIP.

Just as an FYI, my right knee has been acting up and clicks every time I bend it past 90 degrees. Doesn’t hurt, but is just uncomfortable. My doctor told me to just take it easy when doing lunges and such, and I will have to go to a few physical therapy sessions to tighten a muscle on the inside of my thigh, so that it can pull my kneecap back into place…gross.

I was nervous about running the 5k I had planned because of my knee however, IT WAS AWESOME! I felt no pain or awkwardness which was great. My sorority was running a race in support of ovarian cancer. I’ve done it the past three years but this was the first year that I actually had experience as a RUNNER, so it made the run a lot more interesting and a lot more competitive. I was kind of bummed when I crossed the finish line however, to see that the run was only 2.65 instead of 3.1…kind of got ripped off…at least it was for a great cause!

Race Stats!

Race Ready!

Anyway, after my 2 hour workout adventure, it was time to shower and celebrate my best friend Sara’s birthday! Which consisted of a lot of beer…way to completely negate all the hard work I put in that morning. We had a great day and are now watching Crazy, Stupid, Love, baking cookies, and wearing face masks. Great end to the night!

Me and my giiirls at the bar!

Tomorrow’s class is from 10:30-11:45, then am running home to shower and head back downtown to work a five hour shift! Should be a great day.

That’s all for now…yogi-in-training…OUT!
