I need to get on that, especially since the dark is coming and I will not be running outside as much in a couple of months... <br /><br />By the way, did I miss something? What is a softball? Is it the opposite of a hard ball?

Netflix used to have fitness dvds on the instant download. Now they've wised up. (blech). I'll have to try the library. Hadn't even thought of that, thanks!<br />Another good, total body one is Jackie Warner's One on One. It's broken up into segments, too. jaylohhttp://www.runningmovesme.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-72844198209532310202012-08-24T06:30:32.880-05:002012-08-24T06:30:32.880-05:00That's so funny that you say that about "...That's so funny that you say that about "it's interesting how it changes the things that hurt." I'm out of running because of plantar fasciitis so I've started taking Body Pump classes at my gym, which doesn't aggravate my PF at all - but now I have a constant mild ache in my upper hamstrings from all the squats!

I think that is something all of us runners should do. I have been doing it once a week, which is probably not enough, but is better than nothing I guess! I have def been focusing on my core this training season, though, and I think it's been helping with my long runs!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-63944581435378335642012-08-24T02:40:21.470-05:002012-08-24T02:40:21.470-05:00Yee-haw on the strength!

Goodwill even loaded it for us. <br />I am pretty certain that weights help not just the imbalances, but improve speed. Who knows how fast you might get! :)Rainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118022681297462844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-92055790338276763392012-08-23T21:10:32.578-05:002012-08-23T21:10:32.578-05:00I've been strength training, and it's inte...I've been strength training, and it's interesting how it changes the things that hurt. I kinda feel like I'm in the direction of nothing hurting (except the good hurt that means you actually did something), so that'll be a good thing.Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-82628152089616808492012-08-23T20:30:27.452-05:002012-08-23T20:30:27.452-05:00I LOVE that this autocorrected to absinthe, and I ...I LOVE that this autocorrected to absinthe, and I love that reading that word reminded me that I want a Sazarac!
