Got tight? Then stretch.

I usually run on Tuesdays.

However, since I didn't get out of the door much last week,

I decided to do an easy 1 miler this morning to make it up. 

I wasn't worried about pace. 

I really wanted to get used to running in the heat, with the sun beating down on me. 

I stepped outside the door at 10:50 a.m. 

It was hot. 

Finished that 1 mile in 12 minutes. 

I'm OK with that. 

****

My Achilles' tendon and calves have been feeling a little tight of late. 

While reading about this on the Internet, I came across plantar fasciities. 

Here are some exercises I think it might be helpful. 

Boston Spirit Runners!

I ran my 2.62 miles on the treadmill yesterday at 8:21 p.m.
after I dropped my taxes paperwork into the mail box.
First run after my half-marathon last Sunday.
It sure feels good to be running.

 

The other Boston Spirit Runners:

Megan from Little Daily Escape ran 2.62 miles.

"Oops!  what with all our moving at work, I didn't realize til halfway through my run that I didn't have a camera.  or my phone.  So.  85 degrees at noon, I ran 3 miles in 27:32.  green tank top, black Runner Chick bondi band.  and I was sweating like crazy but with a smile because at least I was outside and away from the craziness of moving our office, even if just for a little bit."

 Aneta from My Running Bucket walked. 

"Today i walked 2.62 miles. I walk to work from the train and today I walked to exchange my Vibrams and then i checked out the distance for all of that and it was 2.62 miles. Awesome."

Christine from My First Marathon and Counting

Looks like running 2.62 miles was a piece of cake for Christine.

Melissa claims she is a Wannaberunner.

"Sweaty mess!"
Look at her Bondi Band and that sweat she worked up.
Definitely a runner!

Thanks for indulging me by participating in the Boston Spirit run.

I'm glad we all got out and walked and/or ran instead of sitting on our bottoms and eating bons bons.

I got my Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30 in today!
So, I think I will stay home and try that today instead of going to class. :)
