For whatever reason, my phone's alarm did not sound yesterday morning. When I woke naturally at 6:00AM, I laid in bed, thinking about the time, and then realizing it was too light outside for it to be before 4:45AM (the time my alarm was supposed to go off).
After getting myself up and looking at my phone in my robe pocket, I saw that it had died in the night. My iphone7 was at, at least, 20% power when I put it into my robe and went to bed Wednesday night, so I don't know how it could have died in the night.
I woke Thursday morning with a mild return of the headcold I've had for the past week or so. Pair that with the running I've been doing and I'll say that my body was grateful for the additional rest (and could probably have used more).
This morning, however, I did wake at my usual 4:45AM for an hour of coffee and contemplation before getting on my mat at 5:45AM. I'm sore from Thursday's Tae Kwon Do, but that's nothing new, and nothing I haven't dealt with before.
I'm going to warm up and move gently to start with. Time to sweat it out.......

It's warm in St. Louis (for a few days anyway), at a balmy 70/75 degrees Fahrenheit.
I feel wonderful as I type this, on my mat still, having just come out of Savasana.
I'd forgotten how much one can sweat when it's warm outside. I love that feeling. My practice was wonderful this morning. Strong, focused, paced, and wonderful. I ended with my crowning glory of Urdvha Dhanursana. It's becoming stronger and deeper daily.
I'm going to shower up and take this version of myself out into the world to share.
Namaste
