leg circles... not to be confused with crop circles

had my last ART/Graston/IFC appointment last night. 

Dr. P noticed that the lower leg muscles felt a lot looser, he was able to be fairly aggressive with the treatment with minimal grunts and groans... really?  did I before? cuz I really remember me trying to act tough :)  

I haven't run in two days, but I've been actively resting... did yoga yesterday, will do yoga and maybe a short ride today, and a short run tomorrow. I'm really hesitant to run much during my taper and retighten up those muscles this close to the marathon being less than 2 days away from the start line! I just received one last email from the race organizers, bib# is 376.  It's becoming more real!

Had a few questions on a previous post about what IFC (Interferential Current Therapy) was, well, here's a picture during the treatment, along with a little laser therapy...

and after

Whatever works to get me through this thing! 

Happy Mother's Day to all the other mommies out there, I'll be a little busy, so I will send you my love now :) Going to the expo tonight to pick up my kit, and hopefully meet Marci!  Have a great weekend everyone, and thank you to you all for the well-wishes. I appreciate all your encouragement more than you know, and will be taking you all with me on Sunday.  Good luck to all the others racing this weekend too!
