Day 8: A second week begins

After work I cycled home, meeting Dave in the park, and we did Hardcore together when we got in.  Man, it's tough!  I think it's going to be a while before I can make it through (even with 'only' 15 reps of everything)!  But I worked out until my abs were burning, so I think I did my best.

Then I did CrossTrain whilst Dave started making a delicious vegan dinner.  I noticed such an improvement on last week!  I could get into most of the poses, and hold almost all of them for the allotted time, although I was definitely weaker in the final third of the dvd.  My balance is improving and so is my concentration.  My painful sciatic nerve is bothering me much less and I can start to relax my head and neck on forward folding stretches.  I even got a little wave of euphoria near the end, which was most unexpected!

I feel good afterwards - I can definitely feel that I've worked hard, but I didn't push myself too far.  Just some meditation to do after dinner and I can go to bed knowing I've given it my best today.
