6:30am Goal: Loosen up tight left hamstring

Pace: 11:00

My hamstring has been so tight since Saturday.

Today is the first day of school--I woke up extra early (well I also don't have a choice b/c the dogs woke me up)

Happy running all!

6:50am 50ish degrees

Pace 10:ish

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

6am-Pace 10:47  Foggy and in the 50's

I don't have much time b/c I have to get the dogs on their walk before subbing...but my legs felt like old lady legs...It is weird...I haven't worked since Sunday and now my legs feel sluggish? Maybe too much sitting around and doing homework?

 

Any who--Happy Running!
