After my past four runs, stretching has proven to be difficult and dangerous. I can bend over and touch my toes all right. But it starts to get hairy with Downward Facing Dog. Suddenly, I'm swarmed. I have to jolt from my relaxed position to protect myself. My head starts to feel all wet. When I switch to a stretch that has me lying on my back, however, is when the real pain begins.
Here I am trying to fend off the dangers of stretching. I apologize that my camera work is shoddy while being mauled. In case you haven't already met him, this is Dobson. (Coincidentally, the blur in the upper right corner is my other Dobson.) Every time I'm seated or on my back stretching after a run, I hear the clatter of his giant paws bounding toward me. He's a menace. I'm never stretching again.

Oh Dobson! Maybe once you start running with him he'll start stretching with you and not against you.
Huh, I guess I was right after all.
That's the fun of furry pets. You never have personal space ever again.
gaaa! foiled by felines again. watch out for your cornhole dude.
Er, that would be canines, John.
HAhaha wow just wow
Dobson and Scuttlebutt must be related. There is no stretching to be done in my household either.
this is my convenient excuse for the lack of core work... a face lick on each ascent makes for a very "clean" face.
I'm kinda in love with your Dobson.
That's what she said.
Between my Shiner trying to maul me and lick everything last sweat drop off of my extremeties, I don't think I've stretched in 3 years. Oops.
At least he's not goosing you... or is he?
I have started trying to do yoga at home, and that downward dog pose is not as easy as it seems on tv! I love the picture!
