Yoga Stretch Theory


Distance: 2.75 miles Time: 38:05 Partly Cloudy 7:30 pm
Temperature: 55 °F Humidity: 64% Pressure: 30.13 inches


A bit chilly last night but I did very well. I finished the 2.75 strong and while my right leg was tight I was able to run to 1.5 miles (21:01 min split) before I took a .1 mile walk. I don't think I needed it but I wanted it. I will think about waiting till I really need it tomorrow when I do the shorter run, and again when I do this distance on Tuesday.

I started something new last night. I picked up a video of Yoga for flexibility. I really hope that helps the night cramps in my legs and the tightness in my calves and arches especially on the right side. I figure on Friday and Sunday I have time after the run usually so I will do that video at least both of those times as soon as I am done running so that I am still warm. It felt very good last night after the run.

For the first time I feel good about being prepared in time for the run on February 25th. I know that is because I have had more time in the last two weeks to make my scheduled runs. I look forward to next Friday when the first 3 mile run is scheduled.

Running to make the distance.
