I'm writing this first post at 10:31AM. I'll be enjoying some lovely vacation days this week and will be allowing myself more time to relax and chill in the mornings before hitting my mat. I ran around, all caffeinated, and did some deep cleaning around my home that I'd been putting off.
I'll be running either the Half-Marathon or 10K (6.2 miles) in a few weeks, and I've been diligent with my running routine. I'll be paying special attention to my warm up this morning to ensure that I un-kink my feet and legs gradually and intentionally.
Time to sweat it out.

I re-titled this post after my practice because this morning was a strong, and focused physical practice.
I feel proud and amazed at what I accomplished. I'm thankful that my body can cooperate as it did today.
Sun Salutes A and B were controlled, stable, and strong. I continued to extend and add-on poses to Sun Salute B to make it a bit more robust and challenging.
Forward bends were marvelous and I began to get back in touch with the "trance" like state a yoga practitioner goes into sometimes. It comes very infrequently for me and, even when it does come, it's extremely fleeting but, at times, when I'm able to quiet my mind and focus on my breathing, my eyes rest on a certain point (Drishti), and I go "out of myself", as it were. I am totally aware of my senses and what I'm physically feeling while I go into this state, but I'm removed from it all and feel as though I'm looking at myself, my body, my mind, from a disconnected state. It's trippy. lol
I ended with three strong and powerful backbends.
Time to shower up and continue my day.
Namaste
