Goal for the Week

One of the things I notice I have lost over time is my flexibility. This is hindering my running, so I am making an effort to slowly add more stretching into my routine. I don't want to push hard, but I want to do something.

I feel stiff after a long run, and I know that with more stretching I can reduce that stiff feeling in my body. Eventually I want to take a yoga class, but for now, I think I need more stretching.

Ironic, because taking the time to stretch is something I hate doing. It just seems like a chore to me. So I have to find a way to make it seem less chore like.

Any ideas?

I find stretching a boring task. But when I do stretch I run better.

stretch while watching a TV show you wouldn't normally watch, or a DVD?

add stretches at various times of the day (e.g., stretch your calves while brushing your teeth)
