New schedule

With the new schedule, Mondays are now free.  I chose this schedule because it works well with my teaching schedule: I need to be at school, teaching, MWF.  All other days I run.  Good combination!  What makes it even better is that this year I am not teaching at some godawful torture hour (7:30am all of last year), so my MWF are not automatically write-offs.  But it's good to have those days for doing things like weights.  Just like today!

That makes two weeks in a row, which I think equals the number of times I did weights for much of the summer.  Yay!  And this time I remembered to stretch properly afterward, so hopefully less stiff tomorrow for my run.

I've tried two of the new relaxation DVDs.  The Qigong one is okay, there are some useful exercises in them.  The other one is a mediation one with a bit of yoga thrown in.  This isn't terrible, but I'm not used to meditating (and would rather do more yoga).  Maybe I can learn from this experience?  I haven't tried the third DVD yet, plus I have a DVD on hold at my local library of Yin Yoga, since I liked it so much.  But the selection is nice now.  Maybe I'll even revisit PM Tai Chi at some point.
