getting loose

if you asked me how i did it, i wouldn't be able to tell you how i made it through 6 miserable miles tonight. couldn't get loose for the life of me. deep breaths just caused cramps. rolling the shoulders back and tucking the butt in only helped my posture. music passed the time but no tunes to get lost in or dance-run to. sips of water from fountains along the way provided hydration, but nothing relaxed the calves or the back or the hips or the feet or the head. there was no happy place on tonight's run. just 6 miles of left right left right.
