March 31, 2011: ROGA (4.5mi + Yoga)
Today was the last of the 5 session ROGA series at lululemon Grant Ave with Caroline Almon. I was lucky to be able to make it to 3 of these over the past month. ROGA, as the name implies, is Running + Yoga. An awesome combination! 
There were some down power lines on the 101, so major traffic jam getting to downtown SF. I got there late, rushed and changed and then went straight out running to try to catch up with the group that had already left.
The 4.5mi run was a tough one. It went up the Leavenworth Street hill. I had to just walk those hills, but even walking up them puts strain on the calves. Then it was down hill on Union St., ugggh… too steep for downhill sucks too. Hard for the knees and my foot started getting numb and cramping up too. Had to stop to stretch it out a bit. The route was a strange one, it went through the Stockton tunnel (which I thought was the Broadway tunnel). First time going through there.
Finally made it back to the store in time for yoga. Yoga was great! I’m loving yoga more and more now. I never really did it before, but would like to try it more in the future. It was relaxing and when we did the corpse position, I nearly fell asleep!
