Nice 5 miler today. I tried to keep my shoulders loose by wiggling my arms and stretching frequently but right around the 4.5 mile mark I noticed that my shoulders and neck were beginning to tense up again. I've got to figure out how to stop that from happening or it will kill me on my long runs. I have a long one planned for tomorrow so we'll see what happens.

Shoot! Sorry our advice! Great miles today. You really are doing awesome! You should consider doing the Blackfoot 1/2 Marathon on May 17. I am doing it. Sheridan might run it with me if his ankle is up to it. It would be fun.

Sorry our advice wasn't helpful. That is what I meant to say.

I'm sure I just need to do more dances while I run--I'm sure that will keep me loose.

I didn't realize there was a half marathon so close to Idaho Falls in May. I'm totally in.

Yeah I think I am going to run it with Melanie. Should be a fun time. Great week of running. You sure are making me look bad.
