A big part of aging probably has a lot to do with tight sore muscles. Since camp ended I've been spending time almost every day to stretch my hips, quads, hamstrings, and calves. I'm seeing a difference in my range of motion and also I'm not as sore between runs. I thought my hips were bad and they definitely are but today I realized my quads are super tight and used a massage roller on them. Getting up and walking around I can feel a difference. 

In other news, I woke up with a sore throat. Yesterday I was reminded what it's like to spend an afternoon in a loud crowded gym. I don't love it. But, things will settle down and get more boring. Eventually. 

Anyway, time to go survive a run in the heat!
