SBF, Reboot Boogaloo, July 11th

Welcome Olivia, you got the idea!

V- I know, I know. It's like me with the breath work - I'm already trying, please do not tell me to try harder.

6 mph is great, MM!

V, your right, I think I just bruised my foot - I don't think a stress fracture would heal this quickly.

Today I'm teaching at 11:30. I can't decide what to do with the rest of the day. If I bike this morning, I will miss yoga class or vice versa. Right before I hurt my foot, I signed up for a month of yoga at one place - the kind of thing where you can go as much as you want for a set price - I only have two weeks left, so I want to go as much as I can - I think biking will still win though, I'll do yoga on my own this afternoon. Charlie also mentioned swimming this evening, so it will be like my own little triathlon.

So many choices, boogaloo.

So it's been a year? Doesn't seem like you've settled in yet.

The mary triathlon went well, but I was so incredibly hungry this morning. We decided that next swim night is also pasta night. We mostly did treading water. I think I would be more comfortable putting my head into the water if I had goggles. I'm going to check to see if my parents have a pair lying around. I don't know what happened with the whole head under water thing. I need to get over it.

Today is another 3 yoga classes (teach 2, take 1), plus PT, and maybe a tiny walk. It's a lot to fit into a day. How do people do this for a living (and teach 20 classes a week?) - I'm doing 8 classes this week and next - that's plenty to teach.

plenty, boogaloo.

CP - update on the shoes - I still really like them. They are harder to walk fast in thus far. As I learn, I will update again. I really like them as a walking around town shoe. The only people that notice them are my friends who are used to seeing me in the gorilla shoes. (For Olivia: I wear minimalist shoes called vibram five fingers or my latest ones runamocs that I was discussing above).

Ended up going to two yoga classes yesterday as well as walking - both classes were on the easy side, but I kept thinking "I remember when three hours of yoga would be a lot" :laugh: I keep thinking I need to make a website that reviews yoga classes. Not a judgement (this would be a challenge for me), but just informative. Classes at such and such are mostly flow, start late, last 90 minutes, etc. Seriously, I have yet to go to a class at one studio where they started remotely on time. A big pet peeve for me. Why say you're going to start at noon if you don't start until 12:10?!? I know it's the students coming in late, not the teacher coming late, but there's got to be a solution. Again, non-judgements are hard for me. The other challenge would be going to classes I don't like (as well as not getting into trouble when I say stuff like classes never start on time). While I do believe the teacher is more important than the method, I'm less likely to enjoy a class in another method.

Also I considered making an app called "the green salad" or similar. Here's my idea: you start with a base: different greens, then it selects suggested toppings, slowly narrowing down until you have a salad. So you can select what you already have in your pantry. Basically a good salad is greens + fat + sweet + crunchy + optional protein. So if you have herb lettuce, it would give you a choice of the following fruits (sweet): strawberries, figs, etc, but not raspberries as they would be overpowered by the lettuce. Then it might give you a choice of cheese based on your pick of herb lettuce + strawberries, so you would want a nice soft cheese like goat or feta, but not munster. And it can go in any order - so if you can start with the strawberries and work back. The diagram would be a really messy "if, then". Puts my brain in a whirl just thinking about it.

So that's my novel for the day. Oh, today is teaching at noon, group practice at 4:30 :bigsmile: , a walk in there somewhere.

Ramblings, boogaloo.
