UNCLE!!!
Yesterday was my second appointment at the new Chiropractor (Dr. Liz) and her Sports Message Therapist (Christine). The message was great, but man do I have a lot of built up muscle tension. I like to think I can handle a little bit of discomfort, but she let me have it! Let me share a tip, when the masseuse tells you she's going to put her elbow into your mid back and use some pressure…..it’s gonna hurt.UNCLE! You’d think I was in a Lamaze class!?! All I could do was focus on my breathing to get through it…. focus on something Deb.…breath & focus….(it did kindof bring back some sweet memories though. I know…..that sounds a little twisted if you’re not a mom) ;) The adjustment was great & I hobbled to work feeling strangely better.
Did my usual deal this morning. Spin class for 1 hour, avg. HR 138. Ran 3.2 miles, 9 min pace, avg. HR 145. Core and stretched. Almost cookie cutter of Tues but less time. I’m thinking the lifting on Mon. is what’s making my legs so tired for Tues. spin? (I know what you’re thinking…hmmmm... she’s not the sharpest tool!). I’ll cut that since running and spinning are probably enough on my legs. Any thoughts on that???
I say “UNCLE!” to quite a few things. “UNCLE!” with my kids, “UNCLE!” when work gets crazy, “UNCLE!” when the world just doesn’t want to cooperate with what I had planned. Gotta let go of that. How can I change that “UNCLE!” mentality and join this big party I get invited to everyday? Breath and focus...yeah........
Live Passionately!

Never had a massage that hurt before. But you felt better so you must have needed it?
PS- You're the life of this big party!
You know what? I think sometimes it's ok to say "uncle" when things get out of control. Sometimes the best parties are the ones we don't have to plan!!
P.S. Bummer you won't be in town. We're flying into Santa Ana and spending a bulk of the time driving north through Santa Barbara, etc. up to Big Sur!! Your neck of the woods!! Can't wait

I'm always amazed when I go to the massage therapist. I think I'm fine and she finds all kinds of knots in my back.
I love massages! :)
Heh heh a "message" from the masseuse? That's food for both the body and the soul. :D
I am sure the massage did a lot of good and you are feeling much more relaxed now. Anywayz, you have kids, so no amount of pain should faze you! ;)
That's some good pain -- when you know that it's going to make you feel better, instead of damaging you!
