BeoPuppy:
Going to skip an extra juijitsu training to go running this evening. this is so against my nature it gives me goosebumbs.
(I'm not doing the c25k thing, though ... I run until I'm done. No clue how long/far.)

Not questioning my existence, but my thighs, hips, and shoulders are sore. I guess I'll have to stretch a bit today.
Barmymoo:
I was doubtful that stretching after the run would actually do anything, but the day after the day I didn't stretch I could barely walk, and the day after the day I did stretch I was totally fine. So definitely stretch immediately after running, before going to bed, and when you get up the next morning.
I'm planning on a run tonight some time, but I've got to do some intensive revision so it depends how that goes (starting at no later than 2pm, hopefully earlier). Running at 8.30pm worked well last time, I'll try to make sure dinner is early enough that I don't get stitches again.

I always stretch before and after workouts - it helps immensely. And since yesterday I spent a lot of the day moving around, I was pretty ok, I only have problems when I have to sit for long periods of time.
Did anyone feel a little stiff in their biceps after their first run? I'm trying to figure out if it's because of the running or if it was because I was carrying my water bottle with me.
I also really need to keep track of how many laps I do tomorrow. I lost count after 3 and the track isn't a 1/4 mile long like your average track, so the number of laps to get to a mile is weird. Were people using an app or something?

I was running on the treadmill so it was pretty easy for me to track it. I know there is an app but there is also an MP3. I'm planning for an outside run this weekend and I'm going to be using that.
I don't always stretch before, but usually I do some weight training and/or the ab circuit at the gym before I start my runs that way I'm at least warmed up a bit. I ALWAYS stretch after- my calves are so tight that they cramp up if I don't stretch them. Plus, it feels soooooo good.
Redball- I never though of it that way! Makes us sound much cooler 8-)
(Edit: aahahahaha- found the easter egg. Nice one, DrPhibes.)
