I won't lie... Since I injured myself 2 weeks ago, I've felt restless and grouchy. Sure, I've managed to walk the dog (hobbling!) and a few swims and bike rides, even a couple of weights sessions. But I've felt a gnawing anxiety at not being able to run, and the worry of the clock ticking. I'm not sure what made me think of it, but this week, on Wednesday, I decided to try yoga for the first time. YouTube was my friend here and I quickly discovered Yoga with Adriene. Adriene is a quirky and up-beat yoga instructor, from Austin, Texas (where my sister currently lives) and I am starting out with her "30 days of Yoga" programme. After only 5 days, I am feeling stronger, more peaceful and more flexible as well as noticing a rapid improvement in my injured ankle. I am hooked - I can see this as something I will do every day (or almost) from now on - it's gentle but powerful and just feels awesome! My muscles are already more defined and I am far less worried about what will happen when I am able to run again (hopefully in a week, if my improvement continues). THANK YOU ADRIENE!
