She said: It's getting hot in here

This week hasn't been a great one so far in terms on running. On Monday, I did get up early and go for a run, but since then, I haven't run more than the width of the crosswalk. I blame this on the turn in weather on Wednesday (all dreary wetness, followed by a crisp chill). But, I haven't been slacking these past couple days. On Wednesday, for example, I rode the stationary bike for an hour and a half. The real challenge, however, came on Thursday: Bikram (or hot) yoga.

Sweat and bend and twist and pull and don't forget, Chin up Campbell. A tall gangly gay man named Raphael pushes me to contort my body in ways they don't really want to go.

Two days later, my hips are still a bit sore. But, today there's no getting around it: back to running. I've got to put in a run today and tomorrow - and start increasing my miles. Good thing my trip to Florida is just around the corner. Motivating, I hope, will not be so hard in the sunshine state.
