Hip Flexors

I went the whole week without running. I know I am supposed to be tapering, but this is taking it too far. I have been suffering the consequences though and since I've been doing all this riding, my hip flexors have decided to tighten up. I tried to stretch them out yesterday with some of Salah's stretching tips, but alas, they just didn't want to budge. So I went for a 6 mile run today and threw in a summit ascent. I felt like an old woman shuffling along, but I made it through and my legs feel much better now.
