When all else fails...


Ouch. Last week's hip ache has been more clearly identified as a quad strain. I've continued to run because it actually hurts less than walking. With a border collie, I've still got to do one or the other twice a day; rest is not an option. A couple night's ago, I finally just got out the rolling pin. It's rarely used as I'm not a baker, so I didn't feel the least bit guilty using it for rehab purposes. Painful, but it seems to be helping. Currently, we're in the middle of yet another snowstorm. I'm very over winter. It's going to be fun delivering May baskets tomorrow with first graders in 30 degree temps, snow and ice. Happy May Day!

Sorry about the snow. Don't your weather people know it is almost May? :)
What a creative way to use a rolling pin.

Can't believe you're still getting snow! Your resourcefulness with the rolling pin is further proof of my theory that everything has more than one use!

The rolling pin is helping as are the hip strengthening exercises from Running Times. Any other advice? I've got a half marathon in 4 weeks!

And the snow is gone! :)
