I'm out of shape. I'm not overweight; I actually flirt with being underweight after bouts of the flu. However, I can't touch my toes or run....for any length of time.
I decided to start small. Ten days ago, I started doing hamstring stretches. Those bitches hurt! I think that means I'm doing it right. I can now touch my toes (if I bend my knees).
After the third day of stretching, I was frustrated with how slow I was progressing. Why, after 30 years of sitting totally immobile, was I not a limber gymnast after 72 hours of stretches? Logic would dictate...
So I Googled. Did you know it could take months, MONTHS! to fix what I've done? Doesn't really seem worth it, I thought to myself. But then I also thought to myself that in a few months, I would be pissed knowing that I COULD be limber but instead I gave up. So, onward.
