Running and such

Well, I think that foot thing is already helping! I'm much less achy. Still icing, stretching, and taking some ibuprofen. But a big change. I'll switch out my velvet foot oven this week and then I'll really be going places!

Good run today, but slow. Oh well! But I got over 7 miles in. I'm eating up those miles!

My back has really been giving me trouble so I bought some of these ThermaCare things when I was at Costco yesterday. I got 15 of them for ten bucks and I used one today. And I really think it helped. They heat up when they are exposed to air and you can just stick them where you need them!

I know about the ThermaCare things but what's this thing on your foot?

I ran on the TM this morning because it was still dark when I was ready to go and I don't like to run out there in the dark. It was 51 though so if the sun had been up I would have done it. Did 2.7 on the TM and the exercises.

Has the back pain just started? Wonder why. New shoes?

Well, sometimes you just gotta run inside! I don't like running in the dark at all. I'm so afraid I am going to trip on a sidewalk. Or a skunk!!

No, it isn't new. I am just tired of it. I got a bed topper which, I have to tell you, has changed my sleep amazingly. I'm sleeping so much better. I can't believe it. But it isn't helping with the sore muscles like I hoped. So now I'm trying this! And stretching. I'm actually thinking of going to physical therapy. I'm just tired of the knots! I can't do anything about the one in my head, though!!

Here is the "sock":
