aches 'n' creaks

Haven't been moving enough!  The right piriformis syndrome/achey gluteus medius junk is back!  Wish I had something to blame other than my own laziness as of late!  Boo.  Have been stretching a lot and using my foam roller and even my dog's tennis ball to try to massage out the whole right hip.  It gives a small amount of relief.  Sitting for an extended period of time in a partial-pigeon pose also helps. 

The main idea: GET OUT OF YOUR CHAIR!  Move more!  Walk the dog. 

This morning - made myself get out of bed (*gasp*) before 9am (I've been awake until 2am or later the last few days).  Up, immediately doing warm-ups and light yoga, followed by a 10 minute walk with the dog.  We both need it in the morning - get outside and moving.

Now, here I am, in front of the computer again.  Blah!  I have so much research to do in the library today.  Incidentally, my research is on chronic pain   :-p  I need to make sure I get up and move around every so often. 

And the light stretching and dog walking (at least 10 minutes) in the morning needs to continue; I've done it before and both enjoy and benefit from it.  Good way to start the day and will add to the day's cumulative movement :) 

Amen.  It shall be done.
