My MT has a real day job now and couldn't come over yesterday, so I let everyone at home take turns digging their heels and elbows into my piriformis while I lay on the carpet.   I told them I'd let them watch an hour of TV if they helped me.  My son who thought it was 'gross' at first to touch my bum later enjoyed how much it made me squirm and he actually found the best places.  Poor kid, now he's scarred for life.  But, it totally worked. I have to remember to do my PT streches throughout the day. But today's run felt very good-- although a short run, I ran two 8:45's and a few 9's with Marsha, who thought that was pretty fast.  Nothing hurt or was sore during or after the run.  Yay!  Also, I keep forgetting to give the good news about our little friend Aubrie who was successfuly transplanted a week ago Sunday.  Here is a link to the story that ran on the front page of the Daily Herald last Sunday:   http://heraldextra.com/news/local/article_cd785174-226c-5a70-a415-7a3e23223cca.html

Wiping tears from my eyes as I type. #1- because you had a GREAT run :) #2 for Aubrie. What a great blessing for her and her family :) I sure hope the donor family can have a sense of the wonderful gift they have given. Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks for the tears of joy over my run. I feel the same way. Not to say I won't be suffering additional bouts of hypochondria in the next 10 days.... But I posted Aubrie's story because I have to remind myself that health and strength is a great human privilege and gift. All of the events surrounding Aubrie's transplant gave us a lot to discuss about enjoying life, enjoying health, and how uncertain and surprizing life can be. Thanks for feelin' it with me.

Wow...that's about all I can say. What an amazing little girl, I'm so glad she was given another chance. I'm with Marion on the hope for the donor family!

Nice run to you as well, glad your son had a good time :) Sometimes it's good to scar them! I'm SO SO SO happy that your run went well, felt well and that all IS well in your corner of the world!
