Been on a break from running, in that I haven't run since Thursday, and I won't be running until tomorrow. I've been really enjoying it recently; sort of achieved a new plateau in fitness (well, a mini plateau for the rest of the world, but a definite improvement for me) and happily starting to embrace some of the ideas around meditational running and Chi Running. I actually think I was mostly there anyway, but validation is aways nice.

In short, there was nothing wrong and everything right about running. Which in my philosophy book is the perfect time to take a break, do some yoga and let my knees and ankles take a well-earned break. Even though I miss the endorphins :(

Anyway, while not-running, I realised how much I missed yoga. I also took several warm baths and went to Minehead for the first time ever, which was really a far better experience than I would ever have predicted. The child was, however, a bit of a pest, so the mission to take him away on my own has been aborted. Sometimes you just need to be gentle with yourself :)

*heh* J really wants to learn a martial art and we live over the road from a community centre. On a Thursday night there is a kung fu class and I'm in need of some exercise so I thought we might do it together. I took him over last Thursday for the first time and it was cancelled. He has, however, been making 'yeeeeaaaauuu' kung fu noises and jumping out with razor-sharp chopping hands ever since. I dread putting him in front of the instructor in case he completely insults the guy with his disrepectful kung-fu panda moves.

Yeah - martial arts instructors can be a bit touchy. My brother went through that phase. Being his sister, I could just kick him in the balls every time he karate chopped me, and he soon left me alone. My mum had a far more difficult time with it.

B's just learned how to combine the recent skills of "contrary" and "whining". I nearly dumped him on the hard shoulder of the M5 on the way home.
