Forehead to the knee

I did it. I actually touched my exactly forehead to my exactly knee during the second (shorter) set of Standing Head to Knee pose during the 10:30 a.m. class on Saturday, April 17. Both sides. Coming out of the second side, I was a little weebly-wobbly, but I did not fall down...

This post is the anti-insight, but I wanted to record this achievement somewhere, in case 1) it never happens again, and 2) I forget that it is possible. Both of which are pretty likely. :)

Inothernews — I spent much of my Sunday out in the yard, hoeing and raking and weeding. Classic rock blared from a neighbor's place. Between hourslong rounds of throwing the ball to the dog, I got some pea seeds (did you know that they are just, well, ummm, dried peas?) in the ground. In the afternoon, I went to Target and Lowe's. Today, I am whining about being sore from the yardwork. When did I become a caricature of a suburban 45-year-old yuppie?

(But seriously, I am amazed at what a good core workout I got.)

Hope that everyone had a swell weekend. How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

  3. Ooh! Good work on f-t-knee! :-) I have never done that and look forward to my "first time"! Too funny about the pea seeds.

    Cirita summed up the SD weather well... I enjoyed a hike in some nearby mountains in this perfect weather!

  5. Thanks, ladies! I felt so silly and petty, tooting my own horn, but hey - this is my blog, after all. :) It really was a shocking moment, too!

    @E - I often think "f-t-knee," but it doesn't usually stand for "forehead-to." :P
