Yoga challenge update

I am well into the second week of my yoga challenge and doing well. It is very strange because I look forward to going and seeing what my body has learned to do from day to day, but I also find myself looking forward to the two days I take off. I definitely see improvement in my flexibility and strength though any time I do chair pose it can feel as if my thigh muscles are burning and bleeding.
The last few days while I was at yoga and G. Paul was out of town, Hana had play dates with Dude. We are so grateful to have Jennifer in our lives because she feels the same way about her dog as we do ours. It is truly special to find people who love animals the same as us. Hana would get so excited when I would say "let's go see Dude" and run to the back gate. She came home everyday exhausted. This morning she stayed home with G. and I think she thought she should be going to Dude's again. As I got dressed and on my bike, she again kept coming outside and looking around.
June Gloom has been sticking around in July but the humidity is up here. We hope to get Hana to Fiesta Island in order to keep her cool and hopefully kayak often.
