Ouch - I fell down the stairs on the 28th,and my left back and hand took the brunt. Ugh! I think I have to start the Insanity Challenge all over again!  I've been trying to foam roll, do cat/cow exercises, and stretching.  It hurts to even walk, esp up the stairs.  Let's hope this subsides soon.

 

2018 Family Fitness - My mom, sister, and I are going to walk/run/elliptical 2018 miles as a team next year. We are very excited. (I just hope I'm healed from my aforementioned accident!)

 

Foot - My left foot (big toe joint) is feeling better after wearing comfortable shoes. 

It's FREEZING here in the DC area.  I am really missing Arizona right about now.

Foot - I do think my left foot is getting a bunion.  I have all the signs.  A bunion??  Really??  I'm using a toe spacer, reducing walking around, and trying to stretch out my foot throughout the day.  It hurts like hell though.  Stupid dress shoes!

--------------------

Foot - Am I getting a bunion??? My left foot has been killing me. I have been wearing flats, wedges, and service dress shoes, and the joint below my big toe hurts like crazy. It's not so bad when running, but walking or jumping are painful. Going to take it easy and ensure I have good arch support. 

Shoulder/Neck - I tweaked my neck muscle back in May, and it never quite healed right. I saw the doc, and it got better with two professional massages, ditching a purse for a backpack, and ensuring my core is tight. But it's been flaring up the past couple of weeks. It takes a lot more active stretching and work to keep the tightness and pain at bay.
