Ouch and Yeah!!

My PT decided that we should try something new in our timeless endeavor to get rid of this ITB pain. It's called dry needling and he said it wouldn't really hurt....

it was kind of like acupuncture...




see how happy and relaxed she looks....

why, everyone would want to be in her place....


those needles look like they are barely even touching her....

oh that man, he is so funny sometimes......

and this women is quite the actress....

whoever paid for the above advertisement should be sued...

for A LOT of money.....

I looked at my leg when the needles were all in, I could barely see said needles because they were jabbed that far into my muscles.....

this is what it really feels like...


yeah, I won't be doing that again.

BUT..I did run three pain free miles the day after the above torture session.  So maybe I will suck it up and let him stab me with needles...

Mike did this in Boulder! He said it was awful but very effective. Send me a message to let me know where you got this done--I know Mike will ask!

Also, I realize you've been doing great training wise, but if you are interested in a coach (even a monthly sit-down to discuss the plan), Mike would be interested. (And he is a wealth of knowledge!)

So glad you are doing well!
