Yoga On The Run

Last weekend I managed a 10 mile run for the first time and as I wrote in my last post, it felt great. When I run it feels like a kind of meditation, I'm able to switch off from day to day trivia that's running around my head and my focus switches.
I find I concentrate on breathing, where I place my feet, on my stride, the surroundings, sounds, I suppose it's a form of mindfulness.
Since I've increased my distance though I've found my mind drifting, especially coming towards the end of a run when I'm tiring. For this reason I decided on my last run I would do a full yoga class, in my head.
Shortly after I set off and once I was settled into my pace I began in easy pose. From there I took it to Salute to the Sun and progressed through Warrior and on through my Hatha class until I was back down on the mat for meditation. The weekly Hatha session I attend at Midlands Yoga lasts for approximately one hour and my 'mindful Hatha class' was almost exactly the same.
The run took one and a half hours throughout which I took myself away to my yoga class, it was perfect. I'm just going to have to add a few more poses ready for the half marathon.
