Loosening the Legs

Went for a run this morning with the Rose.

Jogged about 15 mins to warm up. My legs were sore and tight from Sunday's triathlon (I know, I know, I need to write up a race report).

Headed to the track and did a few drills - skipping, butt kicks, high knees and some strides.

Intended to run a timed 400m, but my left hip flexor started really hurting about 200m in, so I eased off and jogged the rest. I stretched out my hip flexor and tried a fast 200m. Felt ok, but decided not to push further, and jogged for home.

Realised on my way home that my legs had eased up a lot since I first started out, and I was actually starting to feel good for the last 10 mins or so. Of course, by then, I had reached home and it was time to stop. :)
