This post has been sitting in drafts for over a year now – December 9th 2016. Why so long? Because I’ve been steadily feeling awful for over a year. When I go back and read it I feel pretty naïve. I’ve been doing great!! Very little pain for the past 3 months. I started to …
I hear crickets chirping on my blog – and I feel guilty. It’s been a hard year. 2015 started out ok, then it was like a sucker punch to the gut. It’s like I just could not keep up. I could not win. I kept going the only way I knew how. I decided to …

I wanted to run this week, I really did but instead I swam. After reading about Laura’s internet doctoring, I decided to do some research into common injuries and fibromyalgia. A ton of reading later I decided I need KT tape and foam rolling, as well as hip strengthening. That’s what the physical therapists usually …
