Day 115: Rest day, literally

My Uncle Don, ran the Carlsbad marathon today. My Aunt Jane ran the Carlsbad half marathon today. Both finished, though Don had a hip problem that made him walk a good portion of it. Too, bad. I know how hard he works for good times!

Last night, I finally took a muscle relaxer my doc gave me for my hip. I slept 12 hours last night and took a 4 hour nap this afternoon. Adverse or not, my hip feels great today; though I can't imagine taking them for 3 weeks straight, as prescribed. I'm not a good patient, but what was I expecting going to the doctor in the first place? Perhaps I'll try my acupuncturist and a good massage if and when this knot in my hip returns. She cured my TMJ a few years ago.

Only 33.5 days left until the big event!
