I slept in until 11am. I keep trying to get up early but then I remember I don't really have a reason to. So I end up sleeping later than I want to. If that is my biggest problem of the summer then I think I need to gain some perspective.
I made breakfast which consisted of an egg, cheese and avocado sandwich. It was seriously DELICIOUS. I have decided that I am going to start cooking more. I have all this time on my hands so I might as well experiment. After breakfast Grace called and wanted to go explore the Greenbelt. As you know the Greenbelt is on my Summer of FUN list. So immediately I was in.
The Greenbelt is a running/walking/biking path along Barton Creek. It is shaded by tons of trees and usually leads to pools of water you can swim in. Grace and I drove to the entrance and hiked down to the where the water was. When we got there we were surprised to find NO WATER. Now I didn't know there was supposed to be water because I had never been. Grace said that there used to be water where we were but it must have dried up due to the lack of rain in Austin. We just sat and talked under the shade of some trees. I personally was happy just to be outdoors and hiking through the trees. As we were leaving a group of guys told us there was water further up the path. Grace and I looked at each other and knew we would have to come back. So Explore Greenbelt is not completely checked off my list until I go back for a second time and play in the water. Though with my luck by the time I go back there will be absolutely no water anywhere. Tough Life.Then I had the privileged of taking three of my Lanier Young Life girls on a work day. We were supposed to meet up with a lady at Perry Park to do some reconstruction on a track. Well we ended up being late and the lady (Nadene) left before we got there. I didn't have her phone number to call. It was my fault I should of had that planned better. So I took the girls home and headed back to my house.
When I got back to the house I found my roommate Chandler. I love Chandler and was excited she was back at the house. She had been in Blanco the past couple days. I have been trying to get back into yoga. I used to go to yoga twice a week with my mother when I lived at home. I missed yoga. There is a place in Austin called Black Swan Yoga. My friends have been going to the sweaty yoga class and really enjoy it. They are a donation based yoga studio which is great becuase I don't have to pay for a membership. I hadn't worked out yet and knew Chandler would join me if I asked. So Chan and I went to Black Swan Yoga's sweaty yoga class at 8:45pm.
This class was HOT. I don't mean the people, though there were a couple of good looking men, but no I mean it was 100 degrees in that room HOT. That is why it is called sweaty yoga. You sweat so much you can barely open your eyes. Okay maybe not that bad. I was worried about Chandler because she kept telling me she was going to faint. Thankfully that didn't happen.
The yoga was good, not too hard considering I have been out of practice for a couple years. I didn't feel like I missed poses or couldn't keep up. Actually I was expecting it to be harder. I was thankful it wasn't harder but I expected it to be harder than it was, yah know? At the end I was drenched in sweat. Like from head to toe. I even had to sit on a towel in the car on the way home. I burned 365 calories for the one hour class. It was less than I was hoping for but better than no workout at all. Overall I will definitely be going back. I hope to make it a weekly thing. I just may have to do some extra cardio before hand. I'll let you know how it ends up fitting into my workout routine. Now I'll probably catch up on some reading or watch a movie. I haven't been reading the book I started when I was at home so I haven't had a chance to tell you about it. I'll do that with in the next couple posts.
Monday you were good to me. Tuesday I have high hopes for you!
