Hamstrings from Hell
Take it "step by step"
Hamstrings from Hell....literally.
On the seventh day God rested. Unfortunately within a few hours of leisure God remembered that he forgot.......to make hamstrings! As luck would have it just then Satan slithered up and said, " Hey Big guy take it easy, I will make the hamstrings for you." And God responded, " Wow thanks Satan, your the best!" Hence, hamstrings from Hell.
I have tight hamstrings. If I stretch em they are tight. If I don't stretch em they are tight. If I run they are tight. If I don't run they are tight. They are tight in the mornin' and they are tight in the evenin.' They are tight when I make coffee. How tight are they you ask? They are has tight as a ant's butt. Now imagine performing a colonoscopy on a ant. Even with little ant sized tools it would be difficult.
I went to a doctor years ago because my lower back was always talking to me. It was saying ahhhhhh and ohhhhhh. So this doctor looks me over and he asked me the dreaded question, " Would you touch your toes for me?" Well I tried but my hammys had other plans. The Doc says, " You don't have a lower back problem, you have a hamstring problem. You sir have the tightest hamstrings I have ever seen." Well I was thrilled for about a second. Yes, I am number one! The tightest in the land! Then it occurred to me this is a distinction I really don't want.
So I stretch them very gently. I stretch before I run, during the run and after the run and my reward is they are still tight. My wife, Lorelie, is always asking me, " Did ya stretch, did ya stretch, did ya stretch? YES I STRETCHED!
So I live with my strings as best I can and I know somewhere Mr. Satan is laughing his ass off.
