It's so funny -- it's like this is a complaint site. I went back and read a few posts and it's all "everything hurts" over and over. The truth is that I feel great. I feel so grateful for the fact that I can take a big deep breath now, and that I can drop my shoulders and let my neck move around.

I took a yoga class at noon today and then ran 4.5 miles along the Embarcadero. And I have to say I love my new shoes. I have been running and my hips aren't bothering me. Two weeks ago I couldn't run for five minutes and today I ran for an hour. I think tomorrow I am going to do the same run again.

Today is Day 9. I have twelve days until I leave for Chicago, and 23 days until I have to go back to work. Isn't that a beaut?
