yoga as i know it

so i've been regularly (at least twice a week) going to yoga now since my last entry, anddddd it's been good. i get sore in places i didnt know i had muscles, but the good/bearable/i-can-still-do-daily-tasks-w/out-too-much-pain sore. i think my abs have gotten slightly flatter since i started doing yoga and i've come to realize how strong you have to be to do yoga. i always thought i had a reasonably strong core from running and just doing general ab and core workouts, but boyyyyyy was i mistaken o.O some of those ab poses, i can barely get into, let alone hold! but i think i'm getting stronger. i know my shoulders are getting the workout of their lives and i feel good about myself. i wouldnt say i'm completely beach ready, but i could def. get away with going to the beach like today...hahaha also my usual ailments of tight hamstrings and lower back have pretty much receded into a foggy memory. only thing is, i think i hurt my pinky toe running in the fall, but got away with it until now just by tweaking the way i push off of each step when i run, but yoga uses all the toes and it's starting to hurt considerably when i'm just walking. should i check it out? maybe. will i? most likely not ^. ^ i am also not sure what other hobbies to pursue...maybe wind surfing..???

summer 2008

i have decided to remain in boston this summer to take some classes so i can finish my majors in time for graduation. for first session, i have 6 hours of class a week...this is less class than i had in a single day in previous semesters. ergo, i have a HUGE amount of free time on my hands. i may get a job (in retail? possibly), but i think in the meantime i will do some soul searching and get new hobbies. this will be my running list of new hobbies/goals that i encounter. i also plan on watching 3 GOOD movies a week. maybe i will keep that list here, too.

5/14: yoga! (i even bought the mat today ^. ^)
