I decided to do a short run today since we have a lot going on. Today is roadshow day! AHHHH! Anyway, I was surprised that in some ways this run was very easy. I guess it has been quite a while since I have done such a short run. So it was easier because I could actually breathe. Aside from the aches and pains all up and down my legs, it was actually a very comfortable run, if that makes any sense. My legs were pretty sore though (which reminds me that I want to ice my shins). My shins hurt, my knee hurt, my thighs hurt, my hips hurt. I did some extra good stretching after my run today and was actually surprised at how limber I am getting. I haven't been able to stretch that far since before I was pregnant. Stretching really is a great thing. Have I told everyone that I think stretching is a really great thing. I hope none of you get tempted to skimp on your stretching after you run. If you don't have time to stretch then I would say cut your run shorter and make time to stretch. It is that important. But then I'm not Sasha so what do I know and who is going to listen to me anyway, right? Ha ha. Anyway, happy running (and stretching) to you all!
