Timber feet
Posted in ashtanga on 08/01/2009 04:01 pm by karenNo, I don’t mean my feet are made of wood. Though if they were, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. A few days ago I woke with sore feet. Like the toes and arches have been stretched out.
Figured out the mysterious affliction pretty quickly. It’s from “timbering” out of the seven headstands this past week. This is just the kind of pain the resolves itself with continued practice, so I’m not worried. Just curious that I’ve never seen it mentioned before. Perhaps I have unusually sensitive feet?
Saturday is primary day around here, so I went to led class. Nice way to end the Ashtanga week. Muscle Man is off doing a workshop this weekend, so we had a sub. Not too many Ashtanga teachers around these parts — she managed well enough, but forgot a few things here and there, but was very charming, so all was well.
It’s been weeks and weeks of helping My Gift locate, secure, move into, and decorate her apartment, but she’s happily ensconced and I have a whole weekend off! Well, I do have to work on a white paper on talent management. But other than that writing and an appointment with Candice tomorrow, my time is unstructured. Just the way I like it!
