CK on September 4 and 5

[muck_a_luck]

Yesterday got away from me, but rather than miss a day, I got in some gentle yoga right before bed. About 20 minutes - brief warmup and forward bends.

Today, Yoga Shakti: Solar Flow I. I did it ALL, except the advanced postures - so not the extreme backbend, or Elbow Stand. I worked on my handstands, but did not actually kick up. Exhausted and rung out at the end, after shower, pleasantly loose and relaxed. The best kind of yoga.

The remainder of today will either be a looooong drive out to Shenandoah for some light hiking (I will be on 4-year-old duty) OR apple picking.

Intro

Hi

Glad I found this community. This year I've been trying to walk a total of a thousand miles over the year for charity. I've been mostly doing organized walks for safety reasons, and I struggle to keep up with groups of experienced walkers, especially up hills. Apart from getting out of breath I seem to have trouble with energy levels. More than just keeping up, I'd like to try to include some more serious hill climbing in my walks. In addition to that, I just want to work on my general fitness and strength for health and happiness reasons.
