Finished the St. Louis GO! Half-Marathon yesterday morning in a personal record time of 2:14 min.
I'm going to continue the running training that has made my yoga practice/blog-posts a little less frequent, but I'm going to be re-dedicating myself to my mat, focusing on a cleaner diet, and other areas of strength training that have gone by the way-side (when I'm training for a run, I typically turn into a Dyson-self-propelled vacuum and eat anything that's not bolted to the ground and don't have as much variety in my physical fitness regimen other than running).
I have generalized muscle stiffness in my legs, rear, and back. None of it is too intense and I would compare it to bad, but bearable stiffness that occurs the next day after an intense practice.
I'm probably going to be doing a warm up routine this morning followed by my Vinyasa/Sun Salute series and will probably not go into a full practice. I'll be moving with a lot of attention paid to my body and will make sure that I don't move too quickly or too aggressively into any pose.

Post-practice, on my mat, having just come out of Savasana.
I will never regret going to my mat, collecting my thoughts, and moving through, just 30 minutes, of a practice. I'll never regret it, and neither will you.
I was absolutely tightened up from the half-marathon I ran yesterday and my forward bends definitely were regressed. My legs (lower calves, and ankles) have a lot of "new muscle" from the run yesterday and I need to break that new muscle apart and keep it from calcifying into concrete.
I went through my Vinyasa series and Padangusthasana and Padahastasana (soooooper difficult to get into this morning). I closed out with Marichyasana C (which felt like Heaven on Earth), and Karnapidasana.
I'll continue to break apart the 'new muscle' that was formed yesterday until I'm back to normal.
Time to shower up and enter the world.
Namaste
