Day 13: Sprints and Yoga? Easy Day.

Today was an easy day, in preparation for my first 300 Workout.  "Easy day" to me, though, translates into something that I've known well for many years: running.  It's a great way to relieve stress; it allows us to get back to nature; and it puts your mind at easy.
This time I decided to do a bit of hill sprints.  I call it my 10x10.  You warm up with a 5-10 minute jog, and then you find a hill (mine was a pretty steep one, perhaps a 25 degree angle).  Then you sprint up it as fast as you can.  When you reach the top, immediately turn around and walk down the hill, regaining your breath (recover on the go as it were).  Then as soon as you hit the bottom, you race up the hill again.  Keep doing this until you've sprinted up the hill 10 times.  A deceptively simple workout, but a great one nonetheless; I was sweating after the first 3.
Then I did a nice, lovely yoga routine of my own design by putting different poses together that have helped me over the past couple of years since I discovered the discipline.  For to truly experience all that life has to offer, you have to know when to be strong and when to bend.
Until tomorrow my friends, when I give the 300 Workout a run for its money.
