I’ve started running at the gym again. actually tried running on Wed but after 15 mins on the stair master, my calves cramped up so badly I only managed 5 mins on the treadmill.
Rested Thurs and I managed to stay on the treadmill for 30 mins on Fri & Sat. But running again on Sat hurt coz I didn’t have the correct shoes … so I ended up buying a pair from Lot 10′s Isetan. RM349 marked down to RM208!! White adidas adiprene ClimaCool running shoes. They’re nice and light and airy!!!
funnily enough … I woke up after 4 hrs of sleep on sunday and made a decision that I wasn’t going to taipei again in end-august. I had planned to and even emmamayhew was surprised at my “secret” trip. something in me sort of just decided I should cut down on travelling to parties in the region for the rest of this year and I should get my body into a more healthy routine. Someone slap me if I change my mind and book my flight ticket.
so despite having gone out on Sat nite till 8am on Sun morning and only sleeping for 4 hours … i did 30 mins of yoga
this was after a fren asked what yoga style i’d recommend. telling him why I like Ashtanga inspired me to practise again after a break of several months.
30 mins of yoga on a sunday evening before picking up junhon for dinner. actually the opening salutations + the fundemental asanas + primary series + finishing poses would take about 2 hours … so i was really just warming up my body
I’ve forgotten how much I like yoga and re-reading some of the research I did …. i discovered new things about breathing techniques …. and that its actually the breathing that is more important than the Asanas.
amazing how much more information is available now compared to 4 yrs ago when i first got hooked

Let’s hope I get some time this week to go home early and see how much of the asanas i recall. then once i’ve refreshed my memory …i can look for a yoga shala to do mysore style practise
