Haha, this morning when out running I overtook a guy who was going just a bit slower than me…which I think he didn’t like because he then picked up his pace and was right on my heels. I of course (foolishly!) didn’t want to overtake and then be overtaken, so I picked up my pace and by the time we eventually parted routes – thank goodness! – I was utterly exhausted and had an extremely slow run for the rest of the time 😛 Definitely some booty lock there!
my butt and hamstrings are always the FIRST things to get sore when I amp up the running – it’s never happend on any particular run but whenever I bump up the mileage or add speedwork, you bet the next few days I’ll be feeling it haha. Oh and I don’t mind it at all either, I love being sore like that. It’s a sign that I’ve accomplished something! 😀
okay so this past weekend i was lucky to not end up doing the shuffle to the finish (even though in the first half i feared it may come)…the first 7 miles were crazy hills. around mile 8 i was thinking. holy cow my butt is SORE. but itwas all worth it in the end;) i will most definitely be thinking of my butt being on fire next time i realize my butt is sore;) haha!
i was loving squats and lunges at the beginning of the year…time to get back to it!!!
YAY u were able to post-pone the booty burn! we’ll call it late onset due to hard hill climbing, great job!! hmmm, yea, i think i heard squats and lunges calling ur name too. 😛
I haven’t done any butt exercises, but I know my need too! My coach/trainer is having me strengthen my core, and if he feels like it won’t affect me running, we’ll start some glute work too. I really REALLY hate any sort of resistance workout though… Like, so much that I’d rather visit the dentist.
ahh yes, i’m a total cardio queen and find the core and strength stuff boring too…but i force myself to do it because 1) i kno it’s good 2) i kno it’ll help my running. follow the advice of that wise coach of ur’s, core work is great!

i always like the sore feeling, just like u said, it’s proof of hard work. 🙂
I hate doing lunges, but they burn so good! I have to force myself to do them. We used to do 4 basketball courts worth for swimming dryland practices.
ahhh, the burn that feels so good. 😉 lunges are great ones!
