Day 74: Downward Dog (254 lbs)

This yoga pose is called Downward Dog and it's a toughie. This pose kills my biceps after I've done it only  once or twice and, unfortunately, you have to do it a lot during the Yoga X workout. Also, the pose is supposed to look like an inverted 'V' when done properly, However, you'll notice in the photo that Senior Stiffy looks more like an inverted 'U'.

Today's photo was symbolic of the workout. I had no energy. I felt tight and sore. My muscles were weak and it was very hard to focus. It was just a downward dog kind of day.
However, I pressed on and finished the workout. I paid my dues and now I have another Yoga X behind me.

I've done 13 Yoga X workouts so far and only have three more remaining in this round of P90X before I'm free. I'll still do yoga workouts at least once a week in the future, but it's nice to pretend that yoga will be behind me in two weeks. I love to pretend. I need to pretend.

Well, I'm off to work. I have a very long day ahead of me. I'm just hoping that I get my post-Yoga X euphoria blast gets here in the next hour or two.
