Haiku is too easy

[flexagon]

A rather boring cold October day.
I should have worn my jacket. Now I see.
I told the cats don't shed until Friday
But do not think they're listening to me.

At work, I didn't get much done today.
I'm lonely now that all my friends have quit.
A little progress would help to allay
this feeling that I'm sort of faking it.

Then yoga -- by a strange coincidence
we worked on straddle-ups in class. And though
I meant to post of something else for once
I'm working on them still, and now you know.

All day I loved and hated life, in turns.
I want to quiet my brain, but still it churns.

so how are your straddle-ups?
i am getting pretty close to a back walkover. i can kick over from a bridge about 1 in 5 or maybe 1 in 3 tries. when i try to connect them though i tend to freak out and bail out, even though it's technically easier to do them connected. it would help if i had a spot to work with me every day.

see, i can only do about 8 pushups (if i'm doing 3 sets) before my arms and chest get too tired (and it's clearly them, not my abs, that are giving out) so i don't think i need anything harder. when i can do 3x12 i want to elevate my feet, toward the eventual handstand pushup goal.

the glute/ham natural thing looks amazing! i want to start doing ham curls for my heel hang on trapeze

i am close to being able to support myself like that but not quite there.

doing curls for knee stability is smart. they are a backup for the acl and that's another reason i should probably do them.

squats don't do ANYTHING for jumps? hmmm. maybe i should just have a front handspring practice. sadly equinox's fitness classrooms both have wood floors (my old gym's was padded) so i don't feel comfortable tumbling there.
