Sharla see if you can get hold of Feroglobin, use it a lot when Fighters are peaking. It was brought out at first to help women with energy problems while having heavy periods. A chemist put me on to it many moons ago .

Thanks Scrap will do!

I think you've suggested it to me before but never got around to hunting it down because it was only in selected stockists and my mum gave me a different brand of iron supplement but i'll get my arse into gear and have another look.

Did my run this morning with post sleep and post exercise stretch.

Used standard back stretches a side stretch and a few hamstring stretches on waking up. Did the side / back stretch where you are lying down with your legs at a right angle and very slowly let your legs go to one side while not allowing your back to arch.

Usually i get a little click in my lower back when my legs fall to the left and nothing to the right although it feels like it wants to go. This morning i got the usually little click to the left and 2 big clunks when they fell to the right. Perhaps my lower back was out and i put it back in?

Then I did the run. I took 15 minutes to find my clothes - stuffed around getting the drawer string back out of my tracksuit pants and hunting for my heart rate monitor being the super organized person I am.

Then I decided for time's sake to do a 45 mintue workout instead of 60 mins which i think is ok for this first week while i'm getting back into a new routine. Hopefully i'll be organized enough next week.

5 minute walk warm up followed by 45 minute run. Did most of it on grass around a nearby oval.

Came home and did post exercise stretches. Roughly followed running exercise stretches in my new book. I like the gastroscenimis stretch. Oddly i feel it in my right side but i think something else is limiting it in the left.

Doing the Soleus stretch i feel it more in the left than the right.

Feel the piriformis stretch (sitting on a chair with leg bent at right angle over knee) in both sides. Actually just getting into position feels like a stretch and i have to be careful to make sure my spine is lengthened properly.

Trunk rotators seem fairly inflexible so i'll have to work on those. Also definitely have a tighter right hip adductor than the left.

Overall my back likes me for my efforts this morning.
