Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 10/31

Deb, the owner of the yoga studio ran classes at 3 locations. she decided not to continue using the building nearest here ( cost, & issues with her ex DH who owns the property) and moved all her classes to this newer location. my previous instructor is not teaching there. old class was at 7:30. new location is further away and starts at 7. not sure how often I'll do that. the class I tested was at 9 and WHOLE lot of people apparently will be attending that one. really, we had to stagger the rows so when we raised our arms we didn't hit each other. there is a different "style" class of yoga today at 9 so I'll try it & see. a couple I knew from previous classes attend it and recommended it. but I won't continue if it's as crowded as tuesday's class. 7 am is early, more for people who need to go to work after.

We did a ride yesterday morning but it was very cold. needed to go early cause DH had to work later in the day. got very warm and pleasant later but we froze on the ride and cut it short. about 15 miles. our usual start spot was closed for mowing and leaf pickup too so fumbled around trying to find the next trailhead.

Both people in our election here will likely need recounts to settle the race. the national race is patty murray( senate). the other one is the house of reps, Larsen. both have been ahead most of the time but not by much so chances are recounts will be involved. all the unidentified money that poured into these races from unnamed sources was stunning! the citizens united supreme court decision is making a mockery of the democratic process. no way to identify the money source behind the millions of $$ that are coming into the political process.
 
Did disk 6 tonight and it wasn't bad. still have issues with sit-n- stands. left leg good, right won't cooperate. I did medium weights for most but got thru it pretty quickly with inimal whining and groaning. Went to a Yin yoga class this morning. very interesting and pleasant , unlike anything i've ever done before. you get in a pose and hold it for maybe 5 minutes. mostly twisting movements, I found it pleasant and could do without any problem.

In election news our senator (patty murray) was re-elected. I am happy for her and for us. she works hard, is not a flamboyant grandstanding type, and the campaign money directed against her was significant. I am getting so disgusted with politics.
 
Saturday

Hi all,

Nothing much going on here except Keegan's agility class and HouseMax. If the weather improves ( it's still cold and rainy), I may do some yard clean up. I have been so lax on that this year.

Valerie, I don't know if I could hold a yoga position for 5 minutes. Glad you found something you like though.

Have a great weekend!
