Yoga for three

My planned ski weekend got postponed by a day, so I took advantage of the warmer weather to run.  One of my favorite short routes starts off crossing a bridge over a highway, from which I can see both the Adirondacks in New York and the Green Mountains in Vermont.  Even in the worst of conditions this is a pleasant view, and today it was sublime.  The sky wasn't clear but the cloud ceiling was high, the weather was almost freezing, the sidewalks were basically clear of snow, and I felt loose and strong starting out.  So it was a nice short run followed by some yoga.  Only this wasn't normal yoga, where you are in either a class or a quiet setting, this was "family style" yoga, where a 2 year old and a 4 year old are giggling and running between your legs while you try and hold difficult poses.  I guess if the point is to learn how to focus and "let go" of the outside world while doing yoga, this must be great training.  Here's a link to a video of the girls doing yoga, just to give an idea.

Today: Run 4 miles, Yoga 45 minutes
