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

Still taking my time off. Even if I feel 100% before then, I'm not doing anything aerobic until next Monday. I am doing some stretching and core strength exercises, and may throw in some theraband leg exercises to work on my muscle balance. I had a good massage on Sunday, and the hamstring had a big improvement yesterday. Today feels like a continuation of yesterday, so that is good. Last week, I had big improvement at the beginning of the week, immediately following the massage, and then stagnation for the rest of the week. Hopefully this week my body can take over and finish what the massages have started.

Are you not doing the elliptical?

Nope.

I responded to your treadmill comment on my blog. Have a look.

Hopefully the massages help out.

Hey, super big congrats on the announcement.

From Cody on Sat, Jan 19, 2008 at 18:21:05

Congrats on the bean! How is the groin? Uh, those are not related I assume.

From James on Sun, Jan 20, 2008 at 21:57:36

Congrats! I have been out of the loop for a couple of days so it took a while to figure it out. There is nothing better than being a Dad, and you will do a great job!

I will in Logan tomorrow for a massage so I will drop your jacket by sometime.
