Day 74 - paying the price

The run today started out pretty slow. I had to get my muscles warmed up to the idea. I was really stiff from the 6 miles I did yesterday because stupidly I didn't stretch after my run yesterday! I was pressed for time and had to get to a business meeting and cut out my stretching time so I could get there on time. I guess I'll have to get up earlier :( If I don't stretch, all the muscles in my back, lower back, ham strings, hip flexors etc. seize up. It gets to the point I can't even bend over to pick something up. I am getting stronger but the daily yoga and stretching are a must for me to be able to stay supple and mobile. I had to pay the price for veering off the routine...have I learned my lesson? I guess we will see!
Today's Goal: to survive - I could hardly move this morning! I didn't stretch after running yesterday and I felt it today. 
Today's Stats: 4 miles, 6.46 km in 39:43, avg pace 6:09 /km, avg speed 9.8 km/h burned 562 cal
