      I used to have the pony tail, I'll never have the abs and Mel you have to really accept that my baseline 'normal' thoughts are most people's lurid fantasies

      anti inflammatory (turmeric works awesome) and rest. Not sure if you can find anyone there that has LED therapy lights? They are great to reduce inflammation on deep tissue. HUGS!!!!

      When I had my shoulder and glute issue I had deep tissue massage to help loosen the area up and promote healing, it did help but I had to cut back on certain exercises that affected those areas too, also try not to over stretch those areas to much, you must give the muscle fibre's time to heal, that's all I can tell you I'm afraid

      Goz! Great mum! Ha! Mum who neglects things like kids to attempt to get some 'me time'. But hey, a happy mum is a better one than a grumpy one, I say. Melinda, presents were for the chocolate game at the school fair. Big school carnival on May 18th.

      Slow run is good for the shoulder! Try to rest it a little more but if it's not killing you then press onward!

      Sometimes I run at night other times in the morning, but 6 months of the year, it is dark. A super bright LED headlamp and Shady make me feel confident during my runs.

      I tried to listen to the radio interview and I'm guessing it's about safety for women running at night. Only realized that after I had posted the comment. My bad. Will go sit in a corner now......
