50 shades of grey

Tomorrow I will be starting yoga as previous mentioned but my teacher had asked me to try a few things before turning up at 6.30am tomorrow. The first was to try breathing through my nose while running. She even suggested taping my mouth up but I didn't think I'd manage with that and after the first run, I'm pleased I didn't. Trying to change the habit of 50 years wasn't easy and by the top of the first hill I was doubled over and must have looked 50 shades of grey. However I persevered and drew some strange looks from passers by while I tried to suck as much air through my nose as possible while keeping my mouth shut. I will spare you the other details re my nose except to say it's not easy getting air in when there is stuff coming in the other direction. I had another go this morning in a shorter run and the result was similar but I'll persevere as getting more oxeygen into those muscles is fundamental. I was also asked to keep a food diary as she wants to see what I am filling myself with. Not that I have a weight problem, far from it, but she wants to see what is fuelling my system. That went really well until after dinner when for some strange reason 5 glasses of wine were consumed! This is rare but doesn't look good on my first day of keeping a food diary!
