Foam Roller

Foam roller = best investment ever.

I picked up one of those blue foam rollers a few days ago, and it's now my new favourite thing ever. I knew my hamstrings were tight, but didn't realize quite how much I needed more of a deep massage than I'd get from basic stretching alone.

I just ran a little under 10k this morning, in the snow/ice/slushiness, and I felt great. No IT band issues at all. Just goes to show how everything is connected - if one area is tight or sore, it can affect other muscles, etc.

Anyway, I'm absolutely thrilled that I haven't been sidelined by injury (yay!!)

Happy Running,

Sarah :)
