Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

Ran to the gym. I wanted to do an elliptical workout, but my legs felt pretty bad. So instead I just did 30 minutes on the elliptical, and 3 miles running on the treadmill. Nothing hard. Ran home, and then ran the dog around the block.

Paul, do you know of anybody in Cache Valley good at sports massage that you would recommend. I have been having an IT band problem since Painter's and have heard massage can help.

Thanks

Dave - kind of far for you, but I go to Hyrum Muscle Therapy. Jon goes there too. The LMT there is named Sarah Mortensen, and she is excellent. Single-handedly cured my plantar fasciitis, among other muscle injuries. Her rates are good - $70 for 2 hours. I forget what one hour is, probably $40 or $45. But 2 hours is much better. She goes pretty deep, and she will also stretch you good. Her number is 435-245-7702. If you go, tell her I referred you. :-)

I think she is now $75 for 2 hours. And tell her Paul and I recommended you, please.

I really appreciate the info. I'm going to call her today and I'll be sure to mention you both.
