Day 10: Strength

Standard day today...  went to work, came home, did yoga.  It was Strength today, and doing it straight after Hardcore makes it even tougher than it already is!  I managed maybe half of the poses and spent the other half in child's pose very out of breath.  I was a bit discouraged by my performance, especially since CrossTrain on Monday went so well for me!  But I just have to keep telling myself that you don't become an ultimate yogi in 108 days, let alone 10!

I've been feeling a bit detached from the world today.  That isn't massively unusual for me - occasionally I feel like I'm watching the world go by like it's a dream, and I'm the dreamer, unable to interact with the world in the flesh.  Sometimes I enjoy it as a surreal experience but sometimes the detachment makes me feel isolated.  This evening I feel a bit isolated.  I think the yoga dvds have something to do with it - I come home on my own and go through the class but the people I'm doing the class with don't know I'm there, so I become the unseen dreamer in my own home.

I definitely thrive around other people rather than on my own and I have noticed that I enjoy the class more when Dave is in the flat, even if he's being noisy!  So I'm looking forward to tomorrow's class because we will be riding home together.
