Uh... sides of knee hurt. I will work harder at the toe-touch stretches, I usually don't do much of that because it's embarrassing (I can't get near my toes, never have been able to).

Oh, dear! Got any clue what's wrong with the car?

I have never been good at those either. With just one leg I can go down a long way but both together has always been a weak spot. Doing more ab exercises seems to help though. That and stretching them singlely first, either by sitting with the legs in a V or by putting it up on a table of window sill. I have been sore in strange places this week because I slacked off on my stretching. My running is up to 27 minutes though! woot! I have have not done that much in years. Now I need to find a set distance and switch from running for a set time to a set distance.

For toe-touchers, until you can do it standing, sit with knees bent and grab 'em, then straighten to the point of tension and hold +/-30 sec. Eventually you'll be able to get 'em all the way out.

Dunno if you know; when stretching, don't "bounce". Steady strain, no pain.
