Wintertime
Legs and arms feeling better today. Went running on Saturday and then went to the gym in the afternoon for a very abbreviated upper body resistance work out. Which was a good idea, I wasn't too sore the next day. Sometimes it is so hard to hold back. Lifting 4k weights doesn't feel like much, but I have to remember to start slowly.
Got an email from my yoga instructor/studio informing me this week will be last classes before Christmas break. It seems everything slows down this time of year. I haven't been to that particular teacher's class in quite a while, guess it will be quite a while longer! It is a husband and wife team, and I really like the guy's style of teaching, but not his wife's. I hate it when I would go there and she would be subbing for him, so I just stopped going. They started doing semi-private instruction, which I really wanted to do but I just can't afford it. I know I should just do yoga on my own, but I find it very difficult. I have been doing it for years but not ever with any kind of regularity. Its so hard for me to find instructors I like too. Damn I'm picky.
Sunday I stayed inside in the morning and went for a bike ride in the early afternoon. Instead of going along the river this time I headed up hill directly west to Wimbledon. Even though it was late in the day the air was still chilly and the ground was thick with fog. It created an eerie effect along the paths in Putney heath and Wimbledon common. I haven't explored the paths there as much. I will definitely go back there again next week. I have a tendency to be drawn towards the waterfront and that blinds me to some of the other great wilderness places in London. Even though I was fairly close to a major roadway, I felt as if I were in some vast woods.
I tried to capture the shafts of light highlighting the fog through the trees
Today I am trying to concentrate on my business loan application and working out the web site. I spent all morning chatting and playing with various web sites instead of working. At least I got in a run before breakfast.
