Takin’ Things Easy

So I pulled my sleepy ass out of bed at 7:30 this morning! On a Saturday! And it was nice and cold in my room too cus it was like 40 degrees outside…perfect sleeping in weather! But alas, I made a commitment to do 7 full days in a row.

I gathered up all my crap, went to class, and took it easy. The class was pretty crowded for a Saturday morning, but I suppose that’s the way things go in the middle of a challenge. Stacey was the teacher- she and I are getting quite chummy.

I can feel slight improvements in my knee after having taken it easy yesterday and today, although I’ll admit that sitting out postures really doesn’t sit well with me. I suppose that’s something I get from my father- that man wouldn’t know a rest day if it bit him in the ass. So when I’m sitting there laying in savasana while everyone else does bow pose of fixed firm, I feel like a loser who can’t hack it. But I just have to keep reminding myself to let my knee heal and remember that I’m doing my own practice and nobody else’s.

I came home, took a shower, had breakfast (bacon and eggs…worth it!), I’m watching an episode of The Wire, waiting for my straightener to heat up. And while I know I have a bunch of errands I want to get done, I’m thinking I maaaaaaaaay need to hit up a little nap for an hour or two.

Namaste

P.S. Shout out to my pops today who’s running the St. George Marathon in St. George, Utah. That man is crazy.
