Tight

Another tell tale sign that you're actually doing something (not necessarily right or wrong but something in general) is that your muscles get tight. This week as I applauded myself for cracking the 26.2 mark for the week I also added some hill work. In the middle of my "normal" six mile run there is a hill that is almost half a mile of inclined running. So half a mile up and half mile back down. Very dramatic sounding right. Well it puts a whole other set of strains especially on the quads.

After doing this Sunday morning about Tuesday the quads got tight and have remained so. So tight I might add that it was making the glutes as well as the lower back muscles tighten up. Oh yeah its all connected people. So I have been using some trigger point technology to relive the tension.  We use the "Baller Block" which is basically a yoga block with a ball to sit on as well as two cylinders to massage the calfs as well as quadriceps. Modern technology.
