Day 53: Stretching on Sunday

Unlike walking, I have decided to stretch on Sundays.

I am not sure I have a logical reason for this.

I see the need for resting from walking, thus the one day off on Sunday. You can read more here.

Yet, stretching seems different. It feels different.

Maybe that is because the stretches I do is more like yoga. It isn't yoga, but it is like yoga in the sense that I am in various stretches (or poses) for a certain amount of time. Some stretches can take as long as 10 minutes; that's because the stretches are designed to relax the muscles - not just stretch them. In fact, I am not really sure I can call them stretches.

Anyway, the point is that I end up meditating, pondering, thinking, etc. about all sorts of things. I do the stretches first thing in the morning, it is quiet and peaceful...I really love starting my day that way. So, for now, I am keeping the stretches on Sunday, but still taking a break from walking.
