Hot Yoga?

I learned about Hot Yoga several years ago from reading Dan John's book.  I was self-aware...tight, stiff muscles needing serious attention.  The fear of sweating too much and not being able to do most poses kept me away until today.  I bought the 10 session Groupon and jumped in.

It was incredible.  I sweat 4lbs all over the place.  But I experience stress relief and deep stretching.  The heat was great to help me stretch and I didn't feel awkward with everyone else sweating too.

I think this should be a good off-season plan to improve my strength and flexibility that will hopefully keep me injury free next year.

Dad's racing??!?!?

My 62 year old father is crazy like me.....makes sense, must be where I get it.  Last night he called and was about to hit submit on his Active.com registration for Ironman Chattanooga 2015.  I mentioned it to him as a fun thing to do together, but he dismissed it as "too old" to finish.  He's not too old, I certainly believe in him and know he'll do it.

This journey keeps getting better!
