It was a very good weekend of running even with the pissy weather.  I do very little stretching besides a quick roll on a foam roller for my low back/IT band and maybe a quick glute and easy hamstring stretch. I don't ice anything anymore.  There is no need which believe me is a wonderful thing.  I'd tweaked my back at work and had a lot of running miles.  It is better to be safe than sorry.  So on my rest day today (a complete and total day off), I did get out the yoga mat for some easy poses and a quick roll around on key points in my back and butt.  Ah.  It takes about 10 minutes and feels very good.  Why do I forget to do this regularly?

 

And I usually end up with helpers...
