Pain

This last month has been all about pain for me. Both physical and emotional. Dealing with the physical pain from a minor ankle strain and the ensuing emotional pain from not running... The emotional pain from all the crap going on in my life right now and the ensuing physical pain from me not handling my stress appropriately... And now last night, for the first time in months, the intermittent hip pain I've been dealing with for about 2 years reared it's ugly head. I've spent the entire night on the couch tossing and turning, downing anti-inflammatory meds like they're candy, and alternating heat and ice all with no relief.

I have come to the conclusion that it's my bodies way of punishing me for not going to yoga. The last month my school schedule has gotten crazy and I haven't made it to a yoga class for probably 4 weeks. I've decided I'm dragging my crippled self to yoga no matter what today. Wish me luck!

And on a positive (pain-free) note... I met Beth Rodden this weekend at the 4th annual Ogden Climbing Festival!! For those of you that aren't familiar she is a professional climber. Her climbing resume is seriously impressive and listening to her story was incredibly inspiring! I'm still kicking myself for not remembering my camera, as it would've been a great memory to have documented photographically.

Got an autograph though!!

This last week my blog feed has started to fill up with mentions of Boston as the Boston Marathon is coming up in 7 days. Good luck to all my blog friends racing it next Monday!! Hope everyone has an excellent week.
