Sunday restorative yoga 7/14/13

I was so happy this morning that we fought the exhaustion and drive back to Chicago Saturday night. 

It was amazing to wake up RESTED in my own bed on Sunday morning without any plans or a particular time to set the alarm clock!!

I woke up naturally around 8:30am feeling great (after passing out at about 10:30pm). 

I ran some errands when I got up and picked up a prepared 3-day juice cleanse. I thought this time would be okay since I had yoga today, rest Monday and a workout on Tuesday. We'll see. As of tonight, I'm really not hungry. We'll see how tomorrow goes at work!

I was to do yoga today which I did myself rather than head to a studio or video/podcast. After I brought the juice home, I walked to my beach and hung out and relaxed for a few hours. Luckily since there's a lot of variety at my beach (families, singles, gays, kites, SUP, boats), me doing some yoga on my beach sheet is no big deal. I was hoping to work on my now atrocious "tri-tan". I'm guessing that I will end up getting spray tanned for my cousin Ian's wedding the week after Ironman because this just keeps getting reinforced weekly (even with the poor weather we've had this summer). 

After my beach time, I walked back home and did 3 loads of workout laundry and watched the WGN movie (thank god since I don't have wifi this week- my neighbor has Comcast coming on Friday) and made some homemade granola for later in the week. I've never made it before but I bought the ingredients a few months ago and thought I'd finally try it. I'm going to bring a few mason jars to Madison for Jenny and Polly to try and test -and to thank them for their ongoing hospitality!  I'm heading back up there on 7/27 again for a VERY long day of riding and running.
