Today's workout: exhilarating and disappointing

Today I had to go to my college town to buy a text book for class. Classes start next Tuesday! While I was there I hit up the recreation center for a yoga class. Since I arrived a few minutes early I ran a few laps on the track. I lost track of laps and wasn't keeping exact track of time, but I think I ran roughly 1.3 miles in roughly 10 minutes. I was keeping a faster than normal pace. On the last three or four laps I gradually picked up the pace with each passing lap until I was absolutely flying on the last lap. I wish I could have kept going, but I had a yoga class to make!

I've practiced yoga many times before. I've only taken one class before with this particular instructor. Today's class was calmer than what I'm used to, but it was still invigorating and worked the entire body.

What I did today was good. I worked my body, pushed the pace with running, and tried new poses in yoga. The run was absolutely exhilarating! However, I didn't feel sore or tired from any of it. As I was showering in the locker room I kept thinking 'that's it? Why am I showering? I hardly broke a sweat!' I actually feel a bit disappointed in myself for not doing more after the yoga class.

Who knew I'd ever consider running a mile and an hour of yoga to be disappointing. Me from just one year ago would be in disbelief.
