I ran the Mt. Vernon Bike trail in Alexandria with my sister. Well, she rode her bike while I shuffled 10 miles along the Potomac. The miles slipped by as we had a very candid conversation about our very grown-up lives. Sometimes I'm afraid of my sister, and sometimes I can't believe how lucky I am to have her. This morning was the latter. I'm trying the Ice/Heat, special stretching, and rolling pin 'scraping' as suggested by Josse and Haynes, and taking it easy (so to speak). I had to take advantage of one last big-girl day, since the kids come this afternoon on a jet-plane, and my life resume to be what it is for now. It's been a luxurious break, has it not? |
