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.

V stretches...*shudder*

Those will forever bring back memories of being in bootcamp, where we were required to do those while sitting on vey cold concrete in December. OK, I'm a wimp...but I hate the feeling of holding a stretch anyway, and doing it in the cold didn't help matters.

Wow, that's very impressive! I am hoping that the next time I try to go hiking, all this biking will have paid off and I'll be in better shape...

Right, I'll stop slacking with the stretching. It's no fun for me, I've never been even remotely flexible (my sibs used to make fun of me). But if it helps...
