PFM 09 week 2 Day 1

as we settle into the long-haul of physical fitness month i already feel myself losing steam on the motivational fitness rants. plus with those jokers at lolulemons putting out stuff like this
i have to admit there's not a whole of feel-good fitness words left to say.

Went to the gym today to do this thing called yin yoga which works on tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues that hold our muscles to our bones* by holding stretches for 3 to 5 minutes. its fun because i can't just hold my breath and strain and fight until its over, i actually have to sit there and say, "ok this sucks but i'm not going anywhere for awhile so i just have to accept it for now". fun life lesson. On a somewhat-related note, i learned that concentrated lavendar water can go a long way and too much can change that relaxing aromatherapy to a harsh choking agent.

cheers,
Jeff
