If you have a rolling pin, try that until the roller arrives.
DivingBiker clued me in to that one. We wrapped it with an old towel and secured it with rubber bands...makes it more uneven and gives a deeper massage on the cheap.

Glad it's all working for you.

I just agreed to buy a slot to transfer into the D.C.'s Cherry Blossom 10-miler on April 1st. My first ever 10 mile race, I'll use it as training for my ultimate goal of hitting 13 before my June Duathlon. Early start....alone (no peeps that I'll know by my side) in a field of 20,000 complete strangers, loooong porta-potty lines. Everything to get my anxiety level ramped up to stratospheric levels. And I'll do this for fun! Yee-HA!
