The yoga studio I went to this morning was really great, but the class was way too easy. I'll definitely try a harder one later in the week. The place is literally a 5 minute walk from my house, incredible.

Not sure if I mentioned, but another reason my jog on Sunday didn't go as well as planned was because I didn't leave the house until 6.15am, which was way too late. Here's a picture I took on the golf course when my head was about to explode:

7am and already scorching.

I have a massive task this Sunday: 10 FREAKING MILES. In the killer Caribbean heat. I absolutely for sure need to leave the house by 5am. Would even be good if it was a bit dark when I leave.

My 9-miler last week:
In looking back at my posts, I never properly documented the fact that a week before yesterday (Monday June 3rd), I ran 9 miles! In the lovely Scottish hills, and in gorgeous crisp, cool weather, which made the whole run feel lovely, but I did it! I actually felt very euphoric the rest of the day. Whether it was a physical effect of the run, or a mental thing from me feeling proud of myself I don't know. At the end I did feel shattered, but also felt like I could have done more, which gives me more confidence for my 10-miler this Sunday.
