Working out the pain

Today I bit the bullet and went for an hour of bodywork (a.k.a. deep tissue massage).

It was both painful and a relief at the same time. Or as Sherri, my massage therapist, said it is a "good hurt".


Afterwards, I was amazed at how easily and painlessly I could walk.

So much tension was gone from my body that I went home and slept for a few hours. She warned me I would be sore later. I am.

But, the achiness is of the good healing kind.

I love a good massage. I have had the crap beat out of me once by a tough older woman. She killed me. I was sore for two days. HAHA

Yep, it hurt big time.

But, it helped too. I'll be doing it weekly until the marathon.
