My FIVE post-run stretches & my new favorite picture!

I always loved to stretch my calves on the stairs post run. It is really nice to stretch those out when needed. That being said I’m not running now so I don’t have any post running stretches ha ha.

Hurting on me right now…hahaha not muscle related of course. My favorite workout gear is pretty similar to you I guess, I’ve been working out and just walking in the glycerins as we as the asics nimbus which I have no complaints about.

That photo of Brooke is absolutely stunning. I know me (as well as everyone else) can’t wait to see the rest!

I do most of the same stretches except no lunge and I add a good old fashioned straddle stretch to loosen everything up.

My husband loves the extreme weight loss show but I just can’t love it, then again I’m not into reality tv at all!

Nothing currently hurting but my right outer hip has been the first thing to get tight lately so I’m on top of it.

The pictures of Brooke are gorgeous!

I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures! Brooke is the cutest!!!

My daughter is obsessed with those fruit snacks. You should see the Elsa dress my sister in law made for her daughter. It’s adorable

I cannot wait to see the rest of your pictures!!!!

Thanks for the stretches, my hamstrings and glutes have been super tight lately.

I always try to stretch everyday after I run. My calves seem so tight lately so that is what I have been focusing on stretching

Thanks for the stretches! I always forget about the pigeon pose and I love that one. I also like for my hamstrings the one where you lie on your back and have one leg on the air and loop a belt around your foot and while keeping both legs straight gently pull your leg towards your body (I hope that made sense)- feels so good!

I have to stretch after every run or I really feel it. I do your favorite pose (and have a similar picture with my nephew tackling me while down!), the pigeon pose, wall calf stretch, butterfly pose, a half-spinal twist (or a supine spinal twist), and leg pendulum stretch (side to side and then front to back), and hamstring stretch with legs up the wall.

My right glute is tight. It has been for months now off and on. Every time I go in for a massage, she works both of them and I die.

My go-to restaurant is Chipotle! Yum! I could eat it everyday. Except for the one in my city. It’s no good. I have to go to one in another city.

The pigeon and runner’s lung feel great after a run, I also like anything with my feet up in the air because I tend to carry stress in my low back.

My go-to restaurant lately with my kiddos is Taco Bell ;)

Some of my fav running gear is the C9 premium stuff at Target, love their bras, socks, and shorts. I really like Lulu tanks and tights. I just tried my first pair of Asics (Gel Pursue – http://www.amazon.com/ASICS-GEL-Pursue-Womens-Lightning-Purple/dp/B00LNI0XCS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409750496&sr=8-1&keywords=asics+gel+pursue) and I am totally in love.

Those pictures of Brooke are beautiful! She is too cute for words!
I ate two bags of fruit snacks last night too :)
I’m super bad about stretching. My run is usually on my lunch break so I’m limited with time. I have to get better about that!

I always stretch after a run/workout. Always. Favorites are the splits and pigeon pose.

My feet are tight too!

Go-to restaurant is Chipotle.

My favorite running gear would have to be my running shoes Asics GT-2000 2. I love them for my personal foot type (mainly neutral) because they are so comfortable.

Brooke is SO gorgeously adorable! that pic of her is incredible. you’re a blessed mama for sure. ahhh i’m the worst about post-run stretching, mainly bc i run in the am and barely have enough time to shower before running back out to bike to work. i need to build more margin into that but of course i sleep til the very last second before having to run…sigh. consequently, my legs are often hurt and right now i have some tendonitis/shin splint combo going on…bummer.

My calf muscles are so incredibly tight right now, and I’m not so much of a fan of it. I do all the stretches you talked about here, and am definitely a fan of them.

i love these stretches..my hamstrings have been so tight lately its ridiculous!!

That pic of Brooke is gorgeous! My, she is growing up quickly, its crazy!

Thank you for sharing the stretches! I am GUILTY of not stretching enough (read: at all) after I run. I need to incorporate these YESTERDAY!

Where did you get those jammies? I need a pair…obviously…:) And I need to buy a pair for all of my cousins too. Can you tell I’m a little fox crazy?

Everything on me is tight…I should take time to stretch more, but with two littles it’s hard to squeeze that in at the end of a workout.

You can definitely see your enthusiasm in the work you
write. The sector hopes for more passionate writers like yyou who aren’t afraid to say how thy believe.
At all times go after your heart.

I miss Cafe Rio SO badly. I need to come back to Utah just for their pork ;)

Frog pose is my favorite stretch…it hurts so good.

The pigeon pose has been my favorite lately. My feet have been super tight also – I keep stealing my puppy’s toy balls to roll my feet on!
Lately I’ve been loving my Garmin 10 and I’m waiting for the weather to cool down so I can wear some new running jackets I got from GapFit.

First up, that photo of Brooke!!! OH MY. Just adorable. Can’t wait to see more!

I love pigeon pose and runner’s lunge stretches a lot too. My hips seem to be pretty tight lately, so they always feel so good. A basic touch your toes hamstring stretch always feels great too.

I do all of those stretches above, I also have really really tight hamstrings and I always feel like they’re so tight before I run. I went on a run the other day and I think I pushed way too hard (if that’s even possible) but my calfs were in so much pain, I could barely walk so I’m trying to find as many calf stretches as possible and do them every day! I desperately need to get better at stretching properly after a run, it makes such a difference!! Brooke is the MOST adorable toddler ever (besides my little sister, of course!!) her eyes are so so beautiful!!

Haha, I LOVE watching fitness shows and eating chocolate / ice cream. It’s like the people on the show are burning the calories for you! ;)

That picture of Brooke is breathtaking! Definitely can’t wait to see more. <3

I really need to do more pigeon pose. I normally do some dynamic stretches before a run not for very long just to get things awake. And I’ve learned instead of going right into my house i stay in the driveway and stretch after otherwise i walk inside and someone needs a piece of me and I won’t stretch (3 kids and a hubs).
Cute pic…gonna do a 6 miler while boys at school and daughter with grandparents but first laundry and dishes.

Go-to restaurant: Open City in Washington, D.C. Nothing beats blueberry pancakes for dinner! If you ever come this way, try it. It’s near the zoo, so it’s pretty popular for families.

Cant wait to see the rest of the pics… you have such a BIG GIRL on your hands now!

Thanks for the stretching tips! And I love Brooke’s outfit for the photo shoot!

Okay, Brooke is such a little beauty!!! And I love you for adding Martha Stewart Cupcakes on your list of favorites.

xo

Love that pic of Brooke! She looks like a lil baby model. And I LOVE pigeon pose lately. I’m bad at stretching but have really needed it lately. I’ve been dealing with plantar fasciitis this year, so stretching my feet has been an all day thing lately.

Yay! I’m so excited you updated your gear page! I’m going to check it out right now.

I agree with you that Downward Facing Dog is the best post-run pose. I also like to do a Mermaid stretch. Feels soooo good.

Right now my feet are tight too. I stretch them several times a day and roll on a tennis ball. I’m also in the process of switching to a more cushioned shoe. Hopefully my plantar fasciitis with calm down before Big Cottonwood next week.

I love Extreme Weightloss! So much more emotional than the Biggest Loser.

Some of my favorite stretches as well!

I have that same dress in Brooke’s puctures for my oldest daughter! Love it but we have to wait for it to cool off some down here before she can wear it.

That photo of Brooke is too cute! What a sweetie :)

Try doing downward dog and then taking one arm on the opposite leg’s ankle… such a good stretch!

I love that Brooke joins you in stretches. Kids learn by copying their elders and she is learning some great, healthy habits from you. Kudos!
