1. The awesome gym I belong to is on the 2nd floor of a historic building. You know what opened on the first floor? A bakery. This morning’s run was filled with the scent of fresh bread and …..their signature cinnamon buns. I may have to bring nose plugs with me or learn to be a mouth breather.
2. Over the past month I have (finally) been incorporating yoga into my training. And love it. There is a hot yoga place near us so I have been going 1-2 times per week. I know there is a risk of over stretching in hot yoga so I am pretty careful to ensure I don’t try to be all yogini in it. And just sweat…a lot.
3. I didn’t like Wednesday night’s class. It was later (8pm) and I had had a brutally busy but successful day at work so I really just wanted to go and get a good sweat/stretch/mind clear out of the class. The guy who led the class was more ‘bootcampy’ in my opinion. Yes he was helpful as he spent time with people getting into their poses but that just meant we were holding the poses a lot longer. And we did planks, and other core work so along with him helping other the 60 min class was 80 min. I actually thought I was going to pass out as it was just so hot. That dude is off my list.
4. We are well into taper and I am still sane. I have done 2 yoga classes, 3 easy-ish runs and 2 weight workouts. Way less than usual but still keeping me sane for the resting to come next week.
Do you do Hot Yoga? Fan Yea or Nay?

Having a gym over a bakery is torture!
Not a yoga fan at all.
Yes that sounds like torture...bakery...oh my...
Enjoy the taper...I actually like running less (cuz I'm lazy), so sort of enjoy it myself...
Almost there!
Yeah, having a bakery that could tempt me on a daily basis would be a BIG problem! Good luck with that one.
I do yoga once/week but have yet to try bikram. I know everybody loves it, so one day, but right now I am going for convenience.
I love yoga too. Can't wait until I can do it again.
Enjoy that taper!! Those legs will be ready to run come race day!h
a bakery over the gym? Oh, that's just not fair! LOL
haha at the bakery, it's not funny, but it is! One my favorite long run route, I run past a breakfast joint, and always smell bacon! It smells SO GOOD!!
I've never tried the hot yoga, not sure if I'd be into it. But great that you've got an outlet to stretch those limbs!
Location, Location, Location. That's genius putting a bakery next to a gym. All those high output workouts causing carb cravings. I would be a customer.
I never heard of hot yoga until this last year. A running friend of mine opened her own hot yoga studio. It is on the opposite end of town that I don't even live in, so I haven't tried it out yet.
I like hot yoga, but it's one thing I haven't managed to fit in post-kids. That may have to change once the back rehab is over.
I hope the taper is still going well!
