Sleepy Yogi

I didn't get all 3 days of yoga in, but I did manage 2 days. I'm quite pleased with myself and quite sore! I forgot how much it really works every muscle in your body.

I had a weird experience on Sunday though. Right when we got to the floor exercises (about half way thru) I has this overwhelming sense of exhaustion. So bad that I could hardly keep my eyes open. I had to really struggle to not just fall asleep there on stinky floor. It was strange. I pushed thru the class, but the second I walked in my door (sweaty and all) I collapsed on the cough and fell fast asleep for 2 straight hours. The only reason I woke up is because my phone rang. I am not a napper at all so this was truly strange.

The only thing I can think it could be is that I have this horrible cough thing and have been partaking in cough medicine left and right. But I took "day time" that morning. Who knows.

Calf still hurts. I am gonna rest it and stretch it for another week before attemping to run at all.

I have felt like collapsing in Bikram before, but not falling asleep! :) way to get your yoga on - and I hope you have a fantastic week!

I think every now and then the body just asserts its right over the mind and says You Must Do This Now. This has led to bad things for me in my teenage years, but now that I'm older it often leads to naps. And pie.

Dude have you gone to the doctor? I've known several people within the last couple months who have ended up having pneumonia.

that's really strange. i often find myself yawning if i take a break during my workouts - maybe it's the same thing - your body is craving the oxygen? i don't know.

why are all of the fab running girls suffering from injury? it's not fair!

God, how horrible would it be to fall asleep in Bikram? Can you imagine? I wonder if you are just all viral? Hoep you feel better - I personally hate naps.
