1 is better than none right?  1 mile walking on the TM, 1 mile running (probably first TM mile since.... March?), .25 mile walking cool down.  Stick and foam roller.

One is definitely better than none! Stick already? What do you think? I had some serious knots in my calves when I first got mine. It took a week or two to work them out.

And we should run together soon, I have to clean the trunk of my car out so I have room for the ginormous BOB but I will do that soon. That is if you don't mind slow pokes:) I hope your'e having an amazing weekend!
