5 easy miles... on the treadmil again... I have to find a babysitter. Although Willem loves going to Gold's Gym, he gets snacks, they play with parachutes, make applesauce and all sorts of cool stuff. My legs felt better. The massage Casey gave me hurt terribly, but helped a lot. He said, "you need to stretch more. Your hamstring just popped for the first 5 minutes. you have to sweat the little stuff.. yadda yadda yadda" He's right. I stretched for 20 mins on each end of my run, and thought of Paul touching his toes this fall, and my envy.

Swam 800 meters.

I can palm the ground now when I stretch. :-) Yet, every since PT I see tells me my hammies are too tight. It's like they're amazed I can even walk. We're runners, not yoga-masters!

For what it's worth, I cannot even touch my toes without a very serious warm-up, and even then with great effort. But I never get injured! And my muscles are hardly ever sore. I've been told by a PT or chiropractor a lot of horrible things about my muscles on numerous occasions. Another story - my childhood coach was a 1:50 800 meter runner back in the 70s when they had awkward shoes and a dirt track. One time while being massaged by a professional masseur he was told: "You cannot possibly be an elite runner, every one of your muscles is so tight!"

Thanks guys...I figure it's reminants of my hamstring injury from december haunting me because I quit maintanance on it.... I hate details. I frequently forget that kind of stuff... shall we say "type B"?
