Rainy Tuesday

I was researching my foot falling asleep issue from last's weeks post: Yuk, McDonalds? which happened again yesterday on my Monday Make up albeit a lot less than last time.

I found lots of posts accusing tight and misfitting shoes but considering that both runs were done with different shoes with which I have run quite well in the past I didn't think that was the answer.

I found a post on runner's world from LizardJedi:

I've gotten this before too, and I've linked it to a hamstring issue.
Mine have ALWAYS been really tight (and I've had issues with them before), and sometimes after running or stretching my feet will fall asleep, and my ex-PT and I figured that it was the muscles tighnting up and cutting off circulation (it was usually a lot better after stretching).

So maybe try stretching a bit more?

I figured it was worth a shot.

I made sure to stretch my hamstrings well and today's run went well.

Although my run today did end up being cut short due to the weather. I was forced to convert my run into 400s and was able to complete 9 before the weather kicked it up a notch. Here are my splits:

02:34.4

02:42.2

02:44.0

02:41.0

02:38.6

02:35.0

02:43.3

02:41.0

02:41.8

I was also able to fit in my challenges. I finally did some push ups, sit-ups and squats once I got home.

Challenges	Push-Ups	Sit-Ups	Squats
Set 1	6	9	13
Set 2	8	12	16
Set 3	6	9	13
Set 4	6	9	13
Set 5	7+ (Did 8)	10+ (Did 12)	13+ (Did 15)
