FOAM ROLLER?

It's a gorgeous day in Grapevine. Woke up this morning at 5:15 - got to the gym and ran 9 intervals for 4.25 miles. Great workout. It was push push push this morning.

Then I treated myself to the FOAM ROLLER. I posted a video one day on my facebook last month. If you are a runner you know what a foam roller is and what it is used for. I cannot recommend it enough. I spent about 10 minutes with my favorite foam roller at the gym. I will post the video on the window but here is the link to the best foam roller video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lLw81kGeXg If you do all of the exercises correctly it's like getting a mini massage all over your key running muscles. I get the best results in my runs when I use it before and after my run. But if you are short on time at least do it after your run.

Try it out after your next workout and let me know how it goes! Okay...off to work. Hopefully, I will make a second run this evening.

Until then...TOOTLES
