Day Five: Rain in My Mouth

The time between leaving the studio last night at 9 p.m. and returning this morning at 9 a.m. seemed a lot less that 12 hours! There wasn't much in between, except a few rolls of sushi last night with Heather (we decided to re-introduce seafood into our otherwise vegetarian diet), cups and cups of green tea, seven hours of sleep, some more green tea, half of a Balance bar, and a glass of "super juice" from the farmer's market.

The Friday morning instructor, Kat, is great, but this will be the only class in this time period we can take because we go back to work next week.

The heat wasn't as oppressive today, but the humidity was intense. I sweated out every ounce of green tea! I sweated as much during the final resting poses as I did at the hour mark. All I could think of was water--fresh, room-temperature water minus the salinity of human sweat. During corpse pose, Kat played a CD recording of a rainstorm. The sounds and images it brought about were cooling, but all I could think of was opening my mouth so that the rain could splash on my tongue and trickle down my throat.

Oh, I wish it would rain...........
