Sore and Restless

Every now and then I get restless- and to combat that restlessness- I started to go running.

I just get the feeling that I want to pack a bag and get the heck out of wherever I am.

In college it wasn't uncommon for my roommates and me to take off last minute on a road trip, but now that I'm married and Jeff's in school and I spend all my time behind a desk, the whole last minute road trip thing doesn't really work out.

It's also a little disheartening that I'm getting this feeling so soon after coming back from Christmas in Idaho....but whatevs, it is what it is.

To combat said restlessness, I ended up overdoing it when I got home from work by going for an extra long run (confession: I haven't gone for a run in months), doing the shred workout, and finally doing a couple of my yoga dvds.

Needless to say, I am sore.

But it did sort of squelch my need to take a trip, probably because I was too exhausted to even think about one, but it worked!

and I think I'll keep up with this running/yoga thing- I kind of like how they're opposites, but still pretty challenging, I can not for the life of me, touch my toes right now- but I'm determined to work on it! Last night I decided that all the people in the dvd just had extra long monkey arms- but, I'm pretty sure I was just lying to myself.

 see, that could totally be me- just give me a couple months of yoga and hopefully I'll at least be able to pull of looking this graceful...
