Private Dock No Trespassin'...'er else! |
Saturday morning, the Green Girl joined the
Sole Runners for our weekly
Marina Vista Park run.
Coach Steve offered last words of advice to the
LA Marathoners before our run.
As I was running along the Alamitos Bay marina, I
finally spotted the pirate trespassin' sign. Argh!
I've unknowingly run past that sign more times than I can count but someone had left the gate slightly ajar so it caught my attention.
Post-run, Mentor George led us in some
Hillbilly Yoga.
As I mentioned
before, Hillbilly Yoga is very different from conventional yoga. There appears to be a strong connection between this yoga style and moonshine.
Mentor George started us off slow with Padmasana, or Lotus Pose. In Hillbilly Yoga it's referred to as 'Bed Spins'.
One of my favorite hip loosening poses is Eka Pada Rajakapotasana, or Pigeon Pose. In Hillbilly Yoga, this pose is called 'Roadkill'.
When it came to Shavasana, or 'Possum Pose', Coach Steve walked us through a visualization of our upcoming race.
I tried to focus on the
San Diego Zoo Safari Park Half Marathon. I'm a little apprehensive about the 3 hour time limit so I put a lot of effort into envisioning myself at the Finish Line.
