Thanks for checking in, Shir. I hope things cool down soon.
Appeal~ma, erika.
I'm working from home today. Which is good, because my guffawing over Obama's secret evil plot to relocate everyone in suburbia to urban centers would have disturbed my coworkers. [link]
Tea: Someone remind me that if I keep going back to the gym, I will start feeling better instead of worse.
erika, I meant to say earlier, tons of appeal~ma to you. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this ridiculous crap.

That's the prevailing theory. I can't confirm it from personal experience. I think you just get use to the soreness.
Shir, I hope peace prevails.
Good luck, erika.

I can. You will feel better. I promise. If you can, try foam rolling. It truly has saved me from an untold amount of soreness.

I need to get one of those. It's not just soreness though. I've been in a lot of pain recently. I know from previous experience that exercise and building up muscle tone will help with the pain, but it takes a while for that to happens, so right now I just feel worse.
Thanks, all.

Shir, please be safe and your sister too. And all the the people in Gaza as well who are suffering horribly in large numbers even worse than usual in response to the bombing (which is not being particularly careful about 'collateral' damage).
sj, I've had knee and back problems since high school. I've had to wear a knee brace for the last 15 years. As of 2 months ago, I no longer need to. It took four solid months of work to get to that point, but I truly thought I'd be looking at surgery for a fix.
If I can do it, so can you.
(I really don't mean to sound preachy about this, but I am amazed at what a difference it's made in my life.)

The foam roller is GOD.
Oh, and Maria -- I don't think I ever thanked you or your friend on FB when I asked the question about yoga, about what "activating" a muscle means. Your answers made perfect sense, and I just want to know why the yoga DVD can't say it that way. I am way too literal sometimes. (Seriously, when the yoga DVD told me to "broaden my collarbones," I almost turned it off. BONES DON'T WORK THAT WAY. And then my SiL told me it meant squeeze your shoulder blades together, and my reaction was "Why can't they just SAY that? Is it not yogic enough?" Obfuscation helps no one.)
