Go get this. Now.

As I mentioned yesterday I was a little sore. Wait, who am I kidding. I felt like I'd just had a double knee replacement. Oh, and shin replacement. I could barely walk up the gigantic steps that we, for some reason, have in the back porch leading to the house.

As I rubbed Blue Goo into most of my body and drifted off to sleep I remembered a friend talking about a foam roller for sore muscles. She talked about it replacing her husband. But, alas, I fell asleep.

Today we stopped by Academy to look at fuel belts. I'm beginning to feel the need for one. Who would have guessed that I would be a serious enough athlete to require one. I don't want the typical one that clips around the waist. After 10 weeks of running my waist still isn't a part of my body that I want to accentuate. I was hoping for an arm variety. Nothing fancy. At least two water tubes and a zippered pocket for my gum, jelly belly energy beans, chap stick, and kleenex. Apparently I am a high maintenance runner. I've had my suspicions. But no such luck finding what I needed.

However, low and behold, right next to the fuel belts was the foam roller. I thought I'd at least look. $20 for a foam roll. But it did come with an instructional DVD.

I've now done the workout, twice, and I'm feeling a lot better! By rolling on it with various body parts it massages the muscle and relieves the pain. Oh the glory! I can't wait to do it again. I just might do it after I post this!
