Yogi.....?

crane pose

I have been a runner for many years, I love it...It defines who I am outside of mother, wife and employee. But over the last year I have been plagued with injury, mostly my hips but some in my feet and calves. Luckily none of it has been serious but it is all due to overuse, high mileage and no strength/cross training. So after the continual urging of the miracle massage therapist, I decided to give yoga try. I am completely surprised how much I enjoy it and that I am really begining to look forward to a little bit of yoga every night.

A couple of weeks ago the workout/session included the crane pose and I was shocked that I could almost actually do it - (Camdyn got a picture of it with my phone but it unfortunately was deleted - the same child). Last night's session included more crane poses and I was so excited until I fell flat on my face.......cheap entertainment for my kids. But I am determined not to give up and keep trying because as they say in yoga it is practice.

So, I have learned that at 36 I can still try new things and with practice, hopefully I will not fall on my face.
