After work I went and got a foam roller. I've heard the benefits of them from other bloggers and runners and decided I might as well try it and see if it helped. Here's me trying it:
(Notice Clyde's huuuuuuuuuuuuge dog couch and orange tent in the background!)
Foam rolling hurt, which I expected. But after I iced it again and dare I say, it felt A LITTLE better.
I'm took today off from work. I decided a couple weeks ago it made sense to take the day off since the race is at 7am tomorrow, meaning I'll be going to bed EARLY tonight since the race is a little over an hour drive from Charlotte. I'm also making lots and lots of food for Kelly's wedding shower tomorrow night. I'll post pictures later. Kelly reads my blog and I can't spoil the surprise :)
It was nice being home this morning with no where to go on a week day. Second time this week! I made Greg and I steel cut oats with the last of our Nutella mixed in and some banana.
Ok, I'm off to get a jump on Kelly's spread! Happy Friday!

Aw! I don't want you to go too much trouble...especially since 6 guests have given their regrets. I'm sure whatever you do well be delicious as usual. I'm sorry your quad isn't feeling well still and I hope the foam roller worked for you. I bet you'll feel great tomorrow. Adrenalin is a powerful chemical! :)
I wish I could give you a magic (peanut butter flavored) pill that would make you all better! If it's any help, I ran my first 1/2 in tons of pain, 2 days after an MRI. I still had fun and finished. And came back from my injury stronger than ever!
looking forward to reading the recap!
