He writes a lot about yoga, in addition to running. He seems to know a lot about it too. Maybe you & he can trade thoughts on the subject. I'm not exactly one to advise you, since I've only done it a few times! ;-) -C Hi Dave,

The first few weeks I hurt like you wouldn't believe--sore, stiff, felt like a 90-year old (or like what I imagine a 90-year-old, non-stretching, out of shape person feels). But I stuck with it, and eventually after a month or so the limberness came. I can't really tell you why I don't do it now--just fell out of the habit I guess--but it was good while it lasted. Jim Hi Dave:

I think that I probably need to target my hip region which is something that I've neglected. I usually do mainly hamstring and quad stretches.

Hope it's nothing too serious. Just curious: Do you walk at all before your runs? I find that helps a lot to stretch the legs a bit, & then also it's easier to stretch after walking a bit too. Just a thought. Oops, I meant to write, “I felt as flexible as a steel pipe!” ;-) Anyhow, let us know how your visit to the doc goes. Hope it’s nothing too serious.

Sounds very uncomfortable. Hope your visit to the doc goes well! Your yoga comment made me laugh so hard! I felt the same way when I did yoga a few times! I even considered myself to be fairly limber, but compared to the pretzel formations of my yoga classmates, I left as limber as a steel pipe! Found that it was best not to compare myself to others in the class, as many of them had been doing yoga for years. Any more limber & they'd all be recruited for Cirque de Soleil! ;-) Ouch! Sounds very uncomfortable. Hope your visit to the doc goes well!
