So, um, I had to look up "planks" on the internet. <img alt="blush.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/blush.gif"> And I gave them a try today. WOWSER! Those kicked my azz - er - my abs! Thanks for the suggestion.<br><br>
As to the stretching - it is truly amazing how stretching (and the roller stick) can make such a difference! I am going on day 15 of no running breaks (first time ever), and while I thought I might take today off or do just a little run, I ended up have a great 7 miles.<br><br>
Happy running everyone!<br>
