Rain day #12—and a welcome rest day

Thunderstorms started booming their way into the Miami Valley last night. A light rain falls even this morning, though the online weather radar shows most heavy rains are much further to the north. It's a day for driving, and a chance for rest that I can use well. Not only am I tired from lack of sleep, my butt has started to develop saddle sores. (I'll write in more depth on saddle sores.)

And a chance for errands, including picking up the Trek 850 from Kettering Bike Shop and leaving off the Lotus, which has developed a worrisome click in the bottom bracket. I need to shop for food too, at least for the staples of a week's breakfasts and dinners. And Practice Yoga has a special Vinyasa this evening with live music by BJSR, a cooly supple musician-yogi I've seen beside me in class.

Monday is a rest and crosstraining day

It had been threatening rain, even actually dropping a bit of precipitation overnight. In this morning preparation time, there was a faint sheen of wetness on the brick walkway. The forecast for the full day included moderate, intermittant showers. So by the time for leaving on the bike, I decided that this is a rest day.

But that didn't mean a total rest day, which I had taken on Saturday. On my way home from work, I stopped at Practice Yoga for my crosstraining, and it was a superb workout. The 5:30 Open-Level Vinyasa, a popular time, was directed by Kathi Kizirnis, a popular leader. At least 20 yogis were in the practice room, and each had a separation of four inches from another yogi.

Soon enough the sun will set late enough to allow me to bike to the Oregon District for a 7:15 class. (Sun move fast!)
