Goal--loosen up hamstring and work on Chi form.

My legs felt so tight today. And I know it is b/c of my hammies. I keep stretchng. I read that I may feel soreness in my core due to Chi running but not in my hamstrings...am I doing something wrong? I checked my shadow today and my reflection yesterday as I ran and I have a lean...and no bend in my waist...or could it be all the hills? I started both at about the same time? I soaked in a hot bath last night and that helped a little. This morning after my run I took a cold shower. That seemed to help a bit more. Then I walked the dogs hoping that would act as part of my cool down and would help hamstring not tighten up some more.

Funny thing happened on my run- a weiner dog came barrelling at me. I stopped traffic for the little guy and he still went to bite me. I'm like go figure! His owner wasn't far behind so I went on my way.

P.S. I'm buying my garmin today...tee hee

I home that hammie loosens up for you.

Did you say anything to the owner of the weiner dog?

Have fun with your garmin!

JakeK, I'm getting the 405...REI.com is having a sale and then they have a rebate on top of that so I really couldn't pass it up.

Carolyn in CO it is feeling 88% better right now...Tomorrow I"m gonna do pilates/yoga and not run.

My 405 is suppose to be here by the 13th sooo I can not wait!

I'm anxious to hear how you like your 405. I recently settled on the 305 and now I wish I had waited a little longer for the 310XT: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=27335

I think my wife is getting one of these for her birthday and then maybe I can borrow it :)

Be sure to check out SportTracks instead of the cheesy Garmin software for your PC.
