Mass-aaaaaaah-ge

When I started on this high-mileage journey I bought a 5-massage package deal so that I could get a massage once every four weeks. Today I got #3 in the series and it was good as usual. I usually just get them for maintenance, so I'm not walking away sore or anything. Who knows how much physiological benefit I get from it. I can tell you, though, that the psychological benefits alone make it worthwhile. Sometimes it feels like she's just squeezing all the lactate buildup out of my legs (ok ... or whatever out of my legs. That's about as scientific as you'll ever hear me talk about running, which is somewhat sad because I actually have an undergraduate degree in Physiology. And it's not that I'm not interested in running physiology; it's just that I obsess over running enough when I'm trying to keep it simple!)

So if today was massage #3 was today that means that #5 will be in the middle of December. And I need to get through February. Do I smell a Christmas present?

Who do you go to for massages - Lucy, or someone else? It sounds like you've got a pretty good massuse whoever it is.

I've been going to Ann Lara (nee Weinheimer) who is not only great but less than five minutes from my work. I'm sure Lucy's great, too, though!
