My wife is in college today and tomorrow so me and my son get to spend some quality alone time together. We went to visit the grandparents (my parents) and the great grandmother (my grandmother) in the afternoon and just played around for the rest of the day. My wife was going to out after college and wouldn't be home til late so there was no opportunity to go for a long run today. We don't have a treadmill in the house, not enough room for one but I still needed to get in some exercise.
So I got in 31 minutes of core exercises and yoga today to meet my quota. My wife is home early from college tomorrow so I'm going out for a run and I'm aiming for 15km. I've said it here so hopefully I'll hold myself to it. Hope Juneathon is going well for you.

Juneathon - Day 7: Yoga
For day 7 I squeezed in a 30 minute session of Yoga before bed. Not much to report on but the body seemed to cope better with it this time around. I am a bit tired though after 7 day with no break from exercise.

Juneathon - Day 3: Yoga
Third day of Juneathon and my third fitness activity. This evening I did a 36 minute yoga workout. The aim I'm setting myself during Juneathon is to exercise everyday for at least 30 minutes each time... so far so good.
This evenings exercise was a little sore. I know it was a short session but stretching is not a skill of mine, I happen to be one of the most inflexible people around. I'm lucky to touch my knees, let alone my toes but hopefully yoga, if I keep it up, will start to change that. I really found three of the exercises today difficult, well more difficult that what would be normal for me. The sun salutation, downward facing dog and especially the half-moon poses hurt. I guess after the core workout yesterday my stomach muscles were still a little tender and those poses gave them a nice going over, again. I guess the tenderness must mean I working these muscles for the first time in a long time and maybe that I'm doing something right.
Tomorrow is a running day. I hope to get out early in the morning and run 10km. Bring on day 4.
