My hamstrings are tighter than they have ever been.
My yoga practice is suffering greatly due to lack of time because of training runs multiple times per week.
My yoga practice is suffering greatly because my flexibility has left the country because of all the running.
Reminder: I'm using the word "running" very loosely here.
I've gone through multiple rolls of KT Tape on my broken foot and an old injury on my knee.
I haven't had time to do any strength training in 6 weeks because any fitness time goes to training runs.
Have I mentioned how much my hips hurt?
I took a yoga workshop today and the instructor asked what happened that my hips were so tight? Oh, just training for St Jude I told her.
I'm not sure if it's just here in Memphis or if it's marathon runners everywhere that refer to the St Jude Marathon as just "training for St Jude." This is a BIG race amongst the marathon and half marathon community. Everyone knows it.
There will be real, legit runners there. The kind of runners who are qualifying to run the Boston or New York City Marathon. There will also be the groups wearing funny costumes and leisurely strolling their way along the race route.
I'll be somewhere in the middle. Well, probably closer to the back of the middle!
Good for you! It's hard work, but what a sense of accomplishment you'll have.
