Waiting for your link up then will link mine to yours and have a place ready on mine to link to you. <br /><br />parkrun is a non-club thing, it's a free timed 5k run by volunteers. So a bit bigger than a club run. The club I go to has weekly runs of about 100, our local parkrun regularly has over 700 runners ...

I definitely love it when the rain stops long enough to get out for a long run! <br />I find working out at home tough but did manage it in May on (most of) the days I wanted to do it. We are working on clearing out my step-daughter’s room (she’s in her own place in college now!) to make a sporty room – this will definitely help to have space for my workouts! I’m sure you can do it – just plan for it and get it done!<br />I have never heard of the McConnell taping technique! I have only done sports medical taping (the white tape), kinesiology taping and dynamic taping. I’m not super skilled in those techniques though; usually I use kinesio tape on clients (or myself) but for anything more than muscle issues I send them to the physio! I do agree somewhat on problems coming from the feet – also when we don’t have strong quads or glutes we can also have knee issues – but then you probably have a tight IT band to boot!<br />With my crappy feet I already have orthotics made for my feet and yes… fallen arches too.<br />I did not realise when I first took my big break (after Athens marathon) what a horrible state my body was in. So I do get it a bit! I have never seen Lady Bird. Last week what probably made me most happy was at my lunch walk seeing all the beautiful animals out and about! Duckies and cows galore!<br />runlaugheatpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233445490233555647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-22415776102821811402018-06-11T21:34:32.137-05:002018-06-11T21:34:32.137-05:00I'm a little envious of the rain everyone else...I'm a little envious of the rain everyone else seems to be getting (I might feel differently if we actually got that rain). <br />Your arms look amazing!
