We went to a simply stretching class tonight at the Lambright to try and get some flexibility back into the old limbs. To start with there are 4 of us runners and about 6 Tech students. Could I tell you how much more flexible they all were than us? Even the male in the group was more flexible and males are not known for their flexibility. There was a young girl right in front of us that could literally bend every joint almost double and not even flinch. The four of us-ON THE OTHER HAND-were moaning & groaning like we were in childbirth. Here is one small example. Sit on the floor, now double one leg behind you and sit on it, put the other leg straight behind you and lean forward from the waist, without bending your back. We could get in most of the positions, the fun part was trying to get out of them. Overall-I would say this was an excellent thing to do, since we all should be stretching MUCH more than we do.
We walked our 5 this AM. My hip seems to be getting better-thanks to the drugs given to me by MY FRIEND! I can feel twinges in it after about 10 hours, but by then it is almost time to take another one. I am encouraged!
We start running 7 miles for our mid-week run tomorrow. It is so hot and humid-that is not a great thought-but we will get through it! When or when is fall coming??? I promise to not gripe about how cold it is at least until February.
BC & I are off to Erie this weekend. REALLY looking forward to seeing #1 Daughter & Son-in-law. It has been a long time since the beginning of June. It is great to talk and email often-but you just need to eyeball them to see that they are truly alright. Fun times in Erie!
