So I've had a really bad long weekend in terms of exercise and weight. On Thursday my groin muscle was hurting when I swam so I only managed 15-20 lengths before I had to give up. That's not the worst of it.
I went out and had a drink Thursday night and so wasn't up early enough of Friday and ended up skipping my run. I also had a drink Friday, Saturday and Sunday so 4 days in a row! I did do my 5 mile run on Sunday but I was aching the whole way round as I'd been drinking a lot the 3 days before.
The result is a 2lbs gain on the weigh-in this morning. Not very happy but expected and so now it's time to get back into the swing of things with a 3-mile run today. Let's hope I can loose that 2lbs to go back under the 200lbs mark.

How often do you stretch? And what stretches do you do?
ReplyDeleteUsually before and after the run and sometimes randomly if I feel a bit tight. Thighs, Calves, Hamstrings, groin.
ReplyDeleteThat's good, I would add a hip flexor stretch : http://www.google.com/m/search?site=images&source=mog&hl=en&gl=uk&client=ms-android-sonyericsson&q=hip%20flexor%20stretches#i=1
ReplyDeleteIts the most important but least known muscle for running
