ttc-day 12

2 weeks over. 2 more to go. this morning asana, we did a lot of sun salutations as warm up for inversions. we didnt know how many because we didnt count. claire kept jumping front and back, inhale exhale throughout the sequence. we heard lance knocked on the cleansing bowl everytime we completed a set. then he told us, "27 now. keep going". so, i thought claire would stop at 30. i was wrong. she kept on going. we tried to follow as much as we could. i stopped 4 times in between as i needed to catch my breathe. and then lance said last 10. and i told myself to do it! go to the edge! go go go! my sweat was dripping from head to toe. the mat was wet. when we stood at tadasana, lance told us we have completed 54 sets of sun salution. 5-breathe sun salution. phew. i am so proud of myself that i managed to do 50 sets. plank, chaturanga, upward dog...no knee chest chin. hahaha. happy happy happy!! after a sweaty warm up, we moved to inversion. claire started with handstand. *gulp*. nightmare as i could not jump up myself. lance noticed and he came to assist me. not once, but a few rounds. haha. full force wei! then pincha. did a few rounds. and thank goodness it was breakfast break! we continued with headstand and shoulder stand after the break. claire added a handstand sequence which she said very good for self practise. i had no more battery.. kaka. but lance insisted, "you come here! now, kick up". i just hold and hold. tiring day. claire has completed her 2 weeks teaching today. she was emotional during her farewell speech. i am a bit like her, dont like to say goodbye. as she would not be here for our graduation (hopefully we graduate la), she recited a poem which she always do during graduation. the poem is something like this. "chapter 1-i was walking down a road. there was a hole. i fell into it. i had a tough time coming out.  chapter 2-i was walking down the same street. there hole was still there. i fell into it again. and i still had a tough time coming out. chapter 3-i was walking down the street. the hole was there. i fell into it again, but i managed to come out very quickly this time. chapter 4-i walked down the street. i saw the hole. i walked around it. chapter 5-i walked pass the street, and i continued walking to another new street"... moral of the story is, we just have to keep walking in life... going to miss her..
