WWU - Paying To Feel BetterEasy Weight Loss

When we last spoke - well, I spoke and I'm assuming you all were listening intently - I was complaining about my dumb glute/hamstring issue.  I mentioned going to my chiropractor, which I'm not 100% behind as a general rule, but I have to admit, he looked at my posture and without me saying anything, immediately said my right side was twisted and as he gently poked at spots going down the side of my leg - "Does it hurt here? OW, yes.  Does it hurt HERE?  OW, yes.  How about here? OW yes."  So even my skeptical brain has to admit that he knows that he sees, and better still, he made me feel better.  I need to not let two and a half years go by between visits; I was a little mad at myself for letting it get that bad when I could have been running without pain had I just taken care of myself a little better.  I let the cost of going to the chiropractor deter me from going, and that's just silly considering how much better I felt after only one visit.

The day after my chiro visit, I ran 2 miles with Diane, and my glute/hamstring didn't bother me at all until I was at mile 1.75 - and even then, it wasn't nearly as bad as it's been.  So that was promising!  On Saturday, I decided to only run 3 miles, just because I didn't want to push that glute/hamstring area too much.  I had a good run, and I have to say, after nearly three months of hurting with every step, I'm really pleased with this.  Plus, now that I can move better, I can get a fuller range of motion with my hamstring stretches, so hopefully this is the beginning of the end of this pain.

Afterward, Jeff and I had to skedaddle home to open up the house for the tile guy; we changed there and then headed out to Blue Baker, where the rest of the Renegades soon showed up.  I got to hold Logan while his parents ordered breakfast, and that sweet baby immediately laid his cheek on my cheek:

He's the best hugger - he stayed like this for a long time.

Eventually I shared him with Jimmymeow, and he leaned into him, too:

We all pretty much promise him the world when he does this - how can you not?!

Karen got him next - Logan loves to play with her pretty fingernails!

A little naptime with Mom...

 

 

And then he was awake, refreshed, and full of energy.  Standing on the chair was super fun!  Plus he kept looking at his bare feet, almost like HEY WHERE DID THESE COME FROM?  Babies are much better than any TV show when it comes to the pure entertainment of watching them.
