Hamstrung

[clevermanka]

To use a phrase miischelle utilized when referencing sore muscles: My hamstrings are very angry right now. So very angry. Holy mother of god. I can't even touch my toes and I am not shitting you. I'll attempt some time on the foam roller today. Yesterday I couldn't bear to contemplate it.

My arms, which are what conked out on me during Tacfit's High Intensity day Wednesday, are absolutely fine. Go figure.

I went to The Late Night Callers show in KC last night*, but was in bed by midnight-thirty. Which is a good thing since I woke up at 5:15. I laid in bed for what seemed like ages, trying desperately to return to sleep. We all know that's a lost cause, though. Why did I bother? Hope springs eternal, I suppose.

The Big Art Thing has a strong possibility of starting today. As I was in that liminal state of refusal regarding my exit from bed this morning, I had some cool ideas about it. I'm much more inspired now than I was yesterday. Here's hoping I can take what's in my head and get it on the canvas. I'm not a very practiced artist, so that doesn't always happen. One of the reasons I should do it more, right?

Sweet christ, my hamstrings.

* Not that charmed_art ever comes around these parts anymore, but I want to say that you guys tore apart "Thunderbolt." Dude. It was fucking awesome.

I've found that doing some concentric only, light ballistic moves can really help with recovery. Not sure what this involves for hamstrings exactly... kicking yourself in the butt? Anything that gets blood flowing through them helps. even just "twitching" the muscle helps.

Great idea on the flexing/twitching! Thank you!
