Stretch Intervention

Do you like to stretch?  I hate it.  I just don't have the time.  I feel like when I get home from a run..usually the long ones I have so much stuff to do.  Like paying attention to my four kids.  But I do know that if I don't stretch then I will for sure pay for it on my next run.  A couple days ago a friend called me and said please come to the a stretch intervention she was holding.  A couple of guys from my church decided about 6 weeks ago that they where also going to run Grandmas Marathon.  They both had run some in the past but this was there first marathon.  Well long story short they don't stretch after.  Never.  And they are paying for it.  They don't fuel during runs either but that is another post.  Here are a few pictures from the intervention.

Who else hates to stretch??

Yoga and Oatmeal 5k's

First off, I tried Yoga the other day. It was very interesting and intense. It reconfirmed what I already knew about myself, that I am NOT flexible and very tight. I wonder if Yoga and running would be a good combo???

Also, on a side note, this picture below is of me and one of my girlfriends before we ran the Long Beach marathon in October.

This Saturday I am going to go out of my comfort zone and run my first "real" 5k. I feel much more comfortable tackling a marathon then a 5k. I am the steady eddy type. So WISH ME LUCK!! Who knows what will happen. Every time I think about giving all I've got within 3 miles I feel completely overwhelmed.
