Running update

[beckybmw]

It's been a tough week in my running.  Nothing out of the ordinary in terms of what I'm doing, really--I'm still at 10 miles a week with my longest run at 4 miles.  But I think the newness of this level of activity is catching up to me.  I've heard that can happen when you launch into a heavy training program--you can experience a lot of soreness

Stretch, stretch, stretch!

Then stretch some more. Seriously 10-15+ times a day would not be unreasonable. Just take your toe, put it on top of something and inch or two high, and lean forward and stretch for 15-20 seconds. Repeat for the other leg. Or do your own favorite calf stretch.

This has made me feel much better in the past when I've had some calf soreness problems.

I do stretch a lot (OK, maybe not 10-15 times a day...), but I don't know a stretch that will get at the inner part of my lower legs. I can get my calves, hamstrings, quads, and even the outside of my lower legs, but the inside? I'm stumped. How can you stretch that? Because that's what hurts now.

hmm...that's where you would need to call in the advice of a professional. :)
