Well, I finally bought real running shoes yesterday and I also went to the chiropractor. He actually gasped a little and said, "No wonder you've been in pain." When laying on my stomach, my feet were a full inch different in length. I also tried something this morning that a friend told me about; it's called Ceragem and it's a therapeutic massage table that utilizes jade rolling stones that emit far infrared heat. So, you go to the store and they have 20 of these tables that people can just try for 40 minutes for FREE! You can come back as often as you want - in fact they encourage you to. I guess after using it, people love it so much, they're willing to spend the thousands to buy it. I know two people in my ward that have one (one has it for her Fibromyalsia). The salesperson said it might hurt the first time if my back is not doing great - and it did. But, afterwards, I felt more relaxed than a massage therapist - and I felt . . . elongated. Does that make sense. I felt like I was standing taller. Anyway, it was very interesting. I think I'll try it 2 more times next week and if I don't notice a difference, at least I won't be out any money!! My walk/jog/run felt good. It was nice to have better shoes that didn't clomp. I tried jogging at a walking pace like Lybi recommends and I was able to do that for about half the time (not all together). I even tried hard to continue jogging UP the hills thanks to Brent's Rools. Thanks for the push, Brent! Hopefully my hip won't be hurting me tomorrow. We'll see . . . |
