Day 4: Denver's Does Late Night with Yoga X

There is a saying among writers, "Some people like to write. Others like to have written."
That is how I can explain my relationship with Yoga X. I'm always glad afterwards, but getting there bites.

I admit it, I procrastinated. Not intentionally at first. I was at a different location for work this morning, so I knew I wouldn't be doing Yoga until late afternoon at the earliest. Then I got home and I had to watch my Rangers beat the Tampa Bay Lightning. And then I had a very important phone call. And then I was coughing and I had something stuck in my throat (that I still have by the way. I think I almost died. Really. Okay, not really, but it's a pain in the neck- get it?). And then my stomach was bothering me. Now I don't think any of these reasons weren't legitimate concerns. I mean, you can't do yoga with a stomach ache. It just isn't possible! So of course, I had to wait for the Tums to kick in. They never did, but me, being the trooper I am, pressed onward. I'll be waiting for my Medal of Honor. Or at least a Purple Heart. A Band-aid?

I was also disappointed that Dallas had absolutely no problem with Yoga X. I guess doing the Hot Yoga routines paid off for him. Unfortunately, I was not as eager to resume my least favorite part of the workout routine after Ab Ripper X. But I did.

I did okay with the first part (Downward Dog X 1 Billion), lousy with the second part (Stand on your right foot for 87 minutes), Great in the third part (Balance on one foot while looking like a fool), Lousy in the next major part (Yoga Belly Torture= Ab ripper on your supposed day off from working your abs! "Don't do this every day" Tony says about Ab workouts.) and great on the best part (Corpse pose, Child's pose and Ohms!)

I'll try to talk about food (or lack thereof in both Dallas and my cases) in a forthcoming post. For now I am going to enjoy my zen-like contentment at having "done" yoga X.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!
