8.23.12 - Yes, I did go on a two mile jog\walk after my post, although it was more walk than jog. :x
8.24-26.12 - Took a three-day weekend to let my very sore muscles heal.
8.27.12 (today)- Did: two mile jog\walk. Unfortunately, I started out strong, but then started feeling really stiff in calves. I don't know if it could be something that's similar to shin-splints, but I didn't want to pull anything, so after stretching it out, me and my mom just walked the rest of the way. :\ Oh well.
I need to look up more stretches. There are a lot that I learned from soccer; they work really well and give my muscles a good stretch, but I'd like to learn more. I'm going to try to avoid yoga poses, because most of them aren't as deep a stretch as just reaching down to your toes and such are. But who knows? Maybe there are some really good yoga stretches!
Maybe you should do a little warm-up (backyard?) and stretch in front of the tv a bit right before we go running next time. We could give it a try...
