Lets Try This Again

Oh dear me, it has been a while hasn't it? This seems to be a reoccurring theme through all my more "recent" posts. Any way enough about my tendency to procrastinate. I just got back last night from a two day Outdoor Ed trip, (and I am sure anyone who is reading this could care less about that, but it does have relevance to dancey stuff.) I got back last night and I had ballet this morning and it was just about the hardest class I have ever done. I realized due to my sore wrists (it was a biking trip) just how much I grip the barre. Upon this realization I thanked fate that I have yet to do pas de duex, because I am positive that anyone who partnered me would end up purple from bruising. In conclusion eureka moments are fantastic, and they can happen when you are in your tiredest states of mind.

I am sorry, but as you probably could have guessed blogging had most certainly not been on the top of my "To Do" list lately. I have been working like a crazy person for the past month. When I have moments off, I have been spending them either fulfilling my desperate need to catch up with friends, going to yoga, or sneaking in a chapter or two from my good friend "Harry Potter". So apologizes for not writing but I have been busy!

I have recently started "IMS" treatment at  physio, (inter-muscular stimulation) in attempt to loosen up my left hip which was abnormally tight, and thanks a bunch to Warrior Two, becoming increasingly painful as the days dragged on. I have been having "hip-sues" for a year or so now and even though I have only been to two "IMS" treatments, it is already starting to work miracles. In addition to becoming pain-free the "IMS" has also made me realize just how weak I am in my hip/lower core area. So as a revision of my original summer goal (6:00 ponche) I am now going to focus on strengthening the weaker areas of my body that the "IMS" has unearthed!

A Bit of Summer Love

Today I am going for my first Hot Yoga class of the summer. I have been planning to go during the summer but was waiting for July to start classes. The long weekend sort of ate up the begining of July so I am starting today. Originally I had planned to go everyday, looking at my work shedual and coordinating it with the yoga studios schedual is harder than I had anticipated and so I will only be able to go Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and some Sundays. I am hoping to improve my flexiblity and strength for when I go back to dance in the fall... (my summer goal: 6:00 ponche)!  I have also been using my time off work to swim in the lake lots which is extreamly exciting, and today I went for a little bike ride around town with a very good friend! In short I am enjoying every bit of summer so far, (especially now that the weather has turned) and I hope you are too!
