Today?  I ran yesterday, OUTSIDE, so I didn't run today.  I'm not up to that level yet.  Only saw two runners today, the guy from across the street (no, not the *******) and his daughter.  Didn't see anyone else.  And yesterday, I saw no one.<br>
 </p>
<p> </p>

 

[RandMart]

<p>No, not today, necessarily ... although I've had some <a href="http://400beers.blogspot.com/2008/05/delicate-sound-of-thunder.html" target="_blank">brilliant</a> runs in thunderstorms</p>

 

[Tech Tee]

<p>Downpour, yes.  Been there, done that, enjoyed it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thunder and lightning...no.  Been there, done that, was not amused.</p>

 

[RandMart]

<p>D'Wife and I got caught in a hailstorm while horseback riding in CO</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We happened to be up here at the time</p>

<p>Nope. Anusara. We worked on handstands and <a href="http://www.swaha.ca/images/yoga%20photos/yoga-eka-pada-koundinyasana.jpg" target="_blank">this pose</a> today. I hadn't done any arm balances in a while so it was rather challenging.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ran around the track at varying speed tonight in the pouring rain, prolly 4.25 miles total with the walking, so another 17 points for Team Two.<br>
 </p>
<p> </p>

 

[ksrunr]

<p>14 miles plus 1 pt alternative  team 5 guys who are getting chicked</p>

 

[RandMart]

<p>I once told a friend of mine "A Runner will see an opportunity to run and take it without hesitation; A Jogger will negotiate with himself until that opportunity passes"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had an opportunity to get in 3 miles while Mariel was at Girl Scouts after this afternoons thunderous downpours, so I took it. Three solid miles and I even managed to time the second RJST-LP light properly amd crossed without waiting</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>12 Points for <span style="color:#ff0000;">Team FIVE GUYS</span></strong></p>
<p><em><span>[due to time constraints, I had to skip my Punk Yoga]</span></em></p>

 

[BigGahoona]

<p>Crow pose is as advanced as I've gotten, but I'm working at it.  Added an hour of Pilates to today's tally for another 12 points for <strong>Team <span style="color:#ee82ee;">Chick</span>-Fil-A</strong>!  Wooty Hoo Hoo!!</p>
<br><p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[RandMart]

<p>That's <em>ANOTHER</em> thing I have with yoga</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How is THIS ...</p>
<p><img alt="tadasana" src="http://www.yogajournal.com/media/originals/HP_209_Tadasana_248.jpg" style="border:0px solid;width:248px;height:248px;"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>or THIS ...</p>
<p><img alt="savasana_248" src="http://www.yogajournal.com/media/originals/savasana_248.jpg" style="border:0px solid;width:248px;height:248px;"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Considered a "pose???"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Tadasana ("Mountain Pose") and Savasana ("Corpse Pose") respectively ... also known as "Just Standing There" and "Just Laying There"]</p>

 

[OrangeMat]

<p>Randy, are you being facetious or do you really want to know?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Short answer, regardless of what you say to the above, is that it's all about alignment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not-so-short answer (but hopefully just as succinct) is that a yoga pose is practiced from the inside out. As opposed to just making shapes with the body, i.e. Just Standing There and Just Laying There. Attitude+Action+Alignment are what make up a yoga pose, even when it looks like nothing's going on on the outside.</p>

 

[RandMart]

<p>I <em>was</em> just being a Goof, but that's a really good [and attitude changing] answer, thank you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Considering what BDJ & I were chatting about the other day after HER first yoga experience ["Okay I can touch my toes! GREAT!!! Can we move ON???!!!"] I may need to change my perspective a little</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe something like THIS???</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Well thank you! You do know I'm a yoga teacher, right? I don't teach anymore... but I guess I still know my stuff. <br>
