In NYC

Last night I went to a "Bikram Yoga" class on 27th street. It is 90 minutes long and a very difficult workout. It is not the relaxation get in touch with your inner self type of yoga. It is kind of militant in that you are told what to do and you are to do it immediately for the length of time you are told. There were alot of people in the class who had to stop or take breaks because they were dizzy with the heat. I noticed that the routine was the exact same as the class I went to in San Fransisco. I walked about 35 minutes each way to get to the class so I felt I got a fair amount of exercise yesterday. Today, I ran for about 50 minutes in Central Park. There are thousands of people running in the park; there are running clubs everywhere and people are just flying. I felt pretty slow and was getting fed up getting passed all the time so I speeded up a bit as I went.
I am a little concerned with my body issues relating to my right side body weaknesses that I have been working on all winter by going to yoga. I am still having pain in my knee (which could be arthritis) some pain in my right foot (which had gone away once I started doing yoga and strength exercises) but has just come back. I thought the balancing work in yoga had fixed my foot problem. Anyway, we will see how it goes. It may just be an ongoing thing that I have to deal with.

I walked around midtown today and did some shopping. Tonight, I am going out with a friend in Chelsea for drinks and dinner. Planning on going running again tomorrow if it is nice.
