Killer Yoga, Hydrating Belts, Aches & Pains

I went to the Wednesday night yoga class. Now, it wasn't my first yoga class, I was a regular at the "Y" classes for a while. But, this one's definitely more intense! For the life of me, I could NOT pull myself up on the palms of my hands and arch my butt in the air to save my life (the elevated push-up)! Can you say zip, zilch, nada upper body strength??? I never leaned THAT pose at the "Y". Must have started after I stopped going to class. . . now my abs & shoulders are sore! At least I'm standing taller. :)

Last night, I went on the hunt for a hydrating belt; unfortunately, Fleet Feet was already closed. I couldn't find one at Academy, so I headed to Sports & Co and found one in pink & gray. Yeah, that's gonna go nicely with our orange shirts we're wearing in Chi-town; but it does kind of match my shoes. I put a packet ofClif Blocks in the zipper pocket & I half-filled the H2O bottle & put it in the freezer. I am ready for Saturday!

Apparently, I had a blister on the ball of my left foot; the skin is starting to peel away and my right Achilles tendon is starting to ache again. I have abrasions on my torso from the heart monitor (forgot to use Bodyglide) & one on my left shoulder from my sports bra. I was thinking back to the "bloody nipples" talk--hope NEVER to experience that!

Maybe you should put the Body Glide near your water belt so you don't forget to use it tomorrow! Ouch!!

I have many abrasions from my sports bra last week. Not sure whether pouring water over my head was a good idea or what was going on!!!! I'm considering something stronger than Body Glide if there is anything!
