Mandy's meanderings!

Swim team is done-which means I have my mornings back!  It felt so good to get some running in today-this month has definitely NOT been my favorite.  I'm keeping all of my running from here on out really slow and easy to make sure I don't do anything stupid.  I did a .25 mile warm-up, ran .75 miles, then stopped to stretch some more(things are getting a little too rearranged already).  After the extra stretch, I ran 1.25 miles at 6.0 mph and did a .75 mile cool down.  I could have done more, but I really don't want to push it.  Hopefully I'll get back into my routine now that summer has officially started! (With only 3 weeks until school starts, oh goody!)

Third time's a charm, right?  I hope this works:  Did the same thing as yesterday-my hamstrings were sore!  It felt good though.  One nice thing is that my knee isn't bothering me at all.  I thought a back issue was causing my problem this whole time, but last week I had an amazing massage at my chiropractor's and discovered it's actually my upper glutes!  It felt like she was using razor blades instead of hands.  Since then, I've modified my stretching and I think it's helping a ton.  So far I haven't had to ice my knee-keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way!
