I am a running moron

I'm slowly but surely working my way through C25K.  I'm still on week 1 since I'm alternating running, walking and yoga.  Yay for me and all, except yesterday I'm fairly sure I pulled something in my ass.  By the time I hit my front door, I was in dire need of some ass stretching and water.  But I couldn't find my key.

I pinned it to the underside of the fold-over part of my pants and it was (poof!) gone.  If there's a "bad" word in this world, I said every one of them.  So I walked those stupid two miles looking for my key and finally found it on the last bit of the loop.  Again, more bad words were said.

Then I had to speed-walk home (no running, as my ass pain and brand new heel blister were truly hobbling me), shower, get dressed, put makeup over a beet-red face, and rush out to trivia night.  I medicated my ass pain/hobbling with lots of water, banana and advil, followed by 2 beers.  So far, so good today.

Re: I am a running moron

  • Ass pulls suck big time.  Keep stretching.  One stretch I used to do (ha there's NO WAY I could get in this position now) is bring one foot/ankle in front of the opposite knee and pull bottom leg up slowly and hold.  Or go get a nice glute massage from a cute guy massage therapist :-)
  • Yes, that is my favorite stretch, too.  I plan on doing many of those tonight.

  • Ugh that sounds awful. I would have been in the worst mood ever!
  • I pulled my asss in CrossFit. I did the stretch that you like plus foam rolled. The foam rolling helped a TON. You can get a decent foam roller from Sports Authority for $30 and a good tutorial on how to foam roll here:

    If you're going to be running a lot a foam roller is good to have.

  • Ha. Sounds like you had a bad day! 

    I am joining you in the slow process of getting in shape.  I have run/walked three times in the last five days.  I hope this trend sticks........my asss is getting big these days :(
