Yoga keeps me moving

In the last 4 days I've run 46 miles and walked almost to the top of a big hill with a weighted rucksack. So I knew how I was going to feel this morning - stiff! My legs felt good when I got up but I knew my hands would hardly get past my knees as I started my first sun salutation (yoga). However I was confident that 15 minutes later I'd feel a lot more flexible and I did. But I need to increase my yoga practice as it gives me a stronger core and increases my flexibility therefore reduces my risk of injury. My lower back obviously was telling me it had worked at the weekend and that would be climbing Tinto hill with 5kg on my back. This is a reminder that I need to strengthen my back as it is hard to imagine what running with 10kg will be like - and it's not that far away! But that is what I love about this journey. Discovering what you are capable of and it is usually much more than you initially think. You could spend time worrying about how you are going to achieve something but that is a complete waste of time and energy. It's better to break the task down into incremental stages and get on with it. We are all capable of achieving much more so why not start that process today? Enjoy, you're only here once!
