monday morning blues

my run this morning wasn't that great.  it wasn't bad, per se.  just not great.  I woke up later than usual, but still went out anyway.  it wasn't too hot, but not as cool as the early morning.  I was tired.  I am tight.  I just needed to get out there to move and stretch the legs a bit.  it was a short + slow run. 

I have been surprisingly sore since my 10K.  my quads, other than my right hamstring, are feeling it the most.  my hamstring is really tight/sore.  I can't even stretch it as far as I usually can.  so I definitely iced after my run today.  I need to get this hamstring under control so I can start increasing my mileage for my half marathon in october* and my full in december.  I'm thinking about doing this yoga for inflexible people dvd that I have lying around.  maybe I need to do it daily.  seriously, my inflexibility is that bad.  especially the hamstrings. 

2 miles



*the half I was originally wanting to do in september is full, I just found out.  totally bummed.  but now I'm going to be running the pink series half in october with some friends.  it still fits in nicely with my training plan for my marathon, so all is not lost.  I'm actually looking forward to this run in park city, though it's no down-canyon run in the fall like I was really excited about.  next year.
