Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
It's either the acupuncture/massage combination or the Guinness and Magners combination I just had that makes my foot feel completely fine. I kept my celebrating to a minimum today because 1) it's not part of a healthy running diet 2) i forgot my ID at lunch and 3) I purposely drove to meet Katharine at the bar so not to be tempted to indulge.
Acupuncture today was great--though, for the first time, I was really awake during it. Maybe because it was in the middle of the day, as opposed to my usual post-work, exhausted, usual appointments. The needle she put into my RIGHT foot for some reason stung the most, and throughout the treatment I felt burning in my arm, left hand, and a spasm in my right quad. It was weird, I was all over the place. She did the stim treatment, and also massaged my ankle and lower calf afterward--which felt great.
My massage...ehh...could have been better. But I'm not going to complain when someone gives my back some attention (even though I asked for my legs...) I decided instead of going to the gym this morning that I would walk around the city to all of my engagements, and when I got to the massage place they had double booked me with someone else! So I arranged to come back at 4:30 instead of the 10:00 spot I was there for, and was handed a $45 gift certificate in return, so all is well. I'd go back for maybe a pedicure or facial sometime. What I really need to look into is a massage for the day AFTER the marathon. It just occurred to me that all of the salons are probably filling/filled up by now!
