Two miles hardly seem worth blogging about, but those 2 miles hurt me.  I should be feeling rested and strong, right?  Two miles should have been a walk in the park.  But with each successive shorter the run this week, I have become exponentially more stiff. I can feel scar tissue in my pelvis becoming petrified and ligaments turning to cement even as I write this. I sat in the river after my run to see if I can freeze the irritation that began on Monday in my left hamstring.  I need someone to massage their heel into the back of my leg maybe. Not much I can do now, but sit on an icepack/heatingpad and hope for the best and try not to gain ANOTHER 3  pounds.

Marion. I can't thank you enough for all your positive and kind comments. If I don't fall over and break a hip on Saturday, I may have you to thank for helping psyche me out! Thank you for reminding me of 'more cowbell baby'. I've gotta have MORE COWBELL.
