It isn't enough to get the run, swim and bike miles in. To me, that is the fun part and I tend to make the time for these things. Weight lifting - not so much. Sleeping - never enough. Stretching - the worst.
I got pretty good last year, but somehow, between seasons, I get out of the routine, and then my muscles become tighter than a fat, new rubber band. I usually pay for it (like my hamstring or my hip). I'm feeling it now and have started getting back to a good stretching routine. It better be good or I'm toast by mid- season.
Here is my goal: make time to stretch after a workout, even if I have to cut the workout short. Stretch 10 minutes into every workout. Light stretching before bed, light stretching when I wake up. And finally, stretch every chance I get. This all seems to work, as long as I don't stretch agressively when I stretch.
