I can't believe I started my second week of the challenge tonight!

Class was very crowded. I'm coming to appreciate the grumpy looks on the faces of some of the more experienced students. On the other hand, whateeeeeever.

I'm finding that I enjoy backbends and don't particularly enjoy the sun salutation asanas. That was unexpected. Give me a little Utrasana (camel pose) or Navasana (boat pose) or even Urdhva Dhanurasana (full backbend) any day.

I'm also happy to say that Hillary will be joining me for another class in the morning. She wins a prize for taking the plunge with me. I don't know what that prize will be yet besides the natural glow of a good workout and inner peace, but I'll think of something.

Speaking of glow, I met Hillary and some other friends and acquaintances after class at the Surly Wench. A casual acquaintance, who I rarely see, remarked upon my telling her I've taken up yoga, "that explains the glow!"

I didn't even feel as glowing tonight as I have after other classes, so it was reassuring to hear that kind of unsolicited comment.

I should get to bed because tomorrow's class is a morning one and my muscles need as much rest as they can get to recuperate.

Speaking of which, lean muscle is damn hot. I'd so do me.
