Yoga

Well, I am happy to say that I have successfully managed to workout on schedule for a week now. That means I have been on a treadmill for 25-26 minutes every other day since last Thursday, when I stepped on a treadmill for the first time in about 7 months.

I should also note here that my first half-marathon is actually scheduled for the end of May, not the beginning of September. I am not changing my original goal, I will be running in the Queen City Half-Marathon in September next year with the goal of finishing in under three hours, but I am adding another race, and my plan for that one is to finish. It will give me some training partners, will show me what it is like to actually run a half-marathon race, and will let me figure out a personal race time so that I can work on my pace development.

... listen to me talking as if I'm actually a runner! Woo Hoo!!

And now, back to the topic of this post, which is actually yoga.

I need to start stretching. I am planning on modifying my workout schedule for this program (C25K) so that it includes 30 minutes of yoga on the days I'm not on a treadmill. The problem is that I have no idea how to arrange a yoga session, and as one blog auther puts it, Sequencing (Vinyasa) is the Holy Grail of yoga.

So.

I know the basics of yoga, but do I truly understand Vinyasa? I think not. My best hope is to find a 15 minute Sun Salutation sequence for both morning and evening that I can do every day, and a 30 minute "Other" sequence to do on my non-running days until the New Year.

Off I go to research.

Google is an amazing thing.
