I still think it’s utterly ridiculous to be sore from gardening when I’m not sore from a 50 mile bike ride! How did this happen?
*Not My Pic
Since my hamstrings are still feeling tight, I took it easy on my lunchtime run today. Ironically, my hamstrings didn’t hurt during my run. I still took it pretty slow. I did, however, have a pain in my side. That has been happening frequently and I have no idea WHAT it is or why I get it! Any ideas? Suggestions?
I made the lunchtime run without having to walk at all.
Today’s Stats:
Time: 35:15
Calories Burned: 415
Nike+ Pace: 9’42”
Checking in on my May Goals:
I used sunscreen–even though it was overcast. CHECK!
I drank a lot of water before the run. CHECK!
I stretched when I got back to work (especially my hammies!). CHECK!
I think I can successfully say that the “Low Carb” eating plan is done. The idea of it just annoys me at this point, and if I really want to do something, I DO it and I really DON’T want to do it. And honestly, what REALLY sounds good to me is a tall, cold one of these:
Question: What is your favorite Adult Beverage?
Ivie
My favorite adult drink…..do I only get to chose one? I’m a girl who likes beer (especially Belgium) and whiskey, and my half Mexican side cannot turn down a margarita!

I know, I can’t choose just one. I’d say WINE, VODKA, and BEER in that order.
Lori (Finding Radiance)
Gardening does the same exact thing to me! No matter how much I lift, bike or run, gardening gets my hamstrings every time.
Favorite adult beverages would be handcrafted beer and an amaretto sour.

Yikes! How long did the hamstring soreness last?
Kellie
I like white wine. I only drink it if we go out to dinner, but I do love a good glass of wine.
Slowly But Surely
You’re probably sore because your muscles were moving in a DIFFERENT way that how you’ve trained them – I think that’s a good thing!
My favorite adult beverage is definitely any kind of Hefewiesen – I’m sooo weak and can’t pass them up!

Have you been to Hopworks yet? They have good beer!
Jackie (Peaces of Earth)
Do you have a foam roller? It is painful, yet magical. Works those hammies so good! And calves, IT band…the list goes on
I’ve been getting side pains lately too when running. It’s hard to say why…sometimes it’s because I drank/ate too close to running, other times it’s because I didn’t hydrate enough during the day.

I do have a Foam Roller and boy does it make a difference!
Kristen
Midori Sour is my adult beverage weakness. *sigh*

Margarita is my favorite but Reisling is a second actually I bounce back and forth

I change my preference according to the season. Summer is usually white wine/Riesling or beer.
