To my absolute astonishment, my second class on Tuesday was one of my best practices ever. I would have thought that getting up early and practicing and then going to the office for eight hours would have left me with nothing to give in a second practice but it felt like I was melting into poses like I had not before. Maybe I was so excited about doing it and being back on track that adrenaline carried me through. Or maybe I was so tired I had no fight left in me. I don’t know. I just know that I enjoyed it far more than I would have thought possible.
Of course yesterday quickly took the wind out of my sails. It was so hot in class Wednesday night I thought I would die. Couple that with an egg that I had eaten for dinner (even though about two hours before class) that seemed stuck in my esophagus and a bladder that was unusually full in the middle of class that required a bathroom break after wind removing pose (which I have never had to do) and saying that I struggled through class would be an understatement.
Then, I realized I had a commitment this evening which meant I either had to do another early morning class (UGH!), double up again (double UGH!) or, even as close as I am to 30 classes, call it quits. The thought of doubling up again, despite the great class I had on Tuesday, is about as distasteful as the thought of quitting at this point. Consequently, I set my alarm for 5 AM this morning. It is amazing the sense of accomplishment I have just getting to class this early in the day, and now I feel like whatever else I get done today is just icing on the cake. I hope I don’t fall asleep in my meeting tonight though. Just five more classes to go !!! I think I can. I think I can! I know I can!
