You guys rock!

Thanks everyone for the input on my long whiny post last night! Today my hip/leg feels better - I did a piriformis stretch before bed last night, and again a little bit this morning. I've googled lots of TFL stretches (Thanks Kristy - I went back to your blog and found the information you mentioned!) and have pulled out my IT band stretches and will start taking 15 - 20 minutes per day to work these areas. I'm on a hunt for a sports med doctor, and have added a foam roller to my 'must have' list. If I don't pay attention now, things will start to hurt later and I don't want that! I did not take any Advil or anything, because I first wanted to see if even mild stretching helped. And it did. I think everything is tight because of what I have NOT been doing (low miles, little strength training, no stretching) then anything that I AM doing.

This is what I love so much about blogging. Everyone has been there done that, and has their own story to share or relate to any situation. Many of my blogging friends have been dealing with much worse issues, so I felt silly even bringing up my little tight *ss issue (lol). And sure enough I STILL get great advice and resources from all my peeps, and I'm so grateful for that!

You all rock!

Plan for tonight....'Stretch and Strength'. I plan to hit the gym. They have those kick butt (literally ha ha) stretching machines , and I will be armed with my little handbook of stretches.

Wednesday night I hope to hit the Pilates class at the rec. I still have to go buy a mat. I will probably be a shaky quivery MESS by the time I walk out of that class! :-) But, I made Alison take the teen spin class to try something new, so now it's my turn to try something new. I've never done formal pilates before....

Off to catch up on all the blogs now!
