Oak, that picture is hysterical.
So, I've gotten three three-mile runs in this week with a minimal amount of hamstring pain. I received my Trigger Point Performance roller and massage ball in the mail, too. I'm underwhelmed by the roller, but I like the massage ball. The roller just doesn't work the trigger points like I had hoped. Nevertheless, when I consistently use the massage ball, it keeps the worst of the pain at bay. I hope I've figured out a way forward.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
