I stretch a teensie bit so I'm working on that too. The foam rolling hurts which obviously means I need to do it more. My calves are so incredibly tight ALL THE TIME so I know I need to really put some time and effort into rolling them.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17894387418404497746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-73882503942365299502011-12-04T21:00:09.670-05:002011-12-04T21:00:09.670-05:00Awesome HBBC points total!
