My
friend, John, said that throughout the day, body movements
allow your muscle to become warm and flexible. So that, even though you're
tired, you do physical things easier than when you’re just starting to move
around for the day. That makes sense! It
occurred to me then that I don't do any stretching before I hop on the bike for
my 35-minute ride. I decided to try that and see if there was any difference.
I kept forgetting to do stretching exercises in
the mornings until the week before spring break, but the mornings were
super-windy that entire week. And the
wind was blowing at me sideways, so riding to work was a struggle of a
different sort. I was at risk of being
blown into traffic on one side or into the rice fields on the other side of the
bicycle path. So I still don’t know if
stretching is what I needed to be doing in order to have a smoother time in the
mornings.
