Busy, slightly stressful day:

I thought I'd have a leisurely morning, but my schedule was completely filled, including two new patients. In the 5min of free time I had, I called and put in a custom order of flowers for Chels that I would pick up, pre-yoga. Hauled ass through work, then had like :30 to pick 'em up, then get to class.

Went to the florist...only to find I went to the wrong place! Damn Google Maps put the "location pin" in the wrong place! So, no flowers yet.. . :-/

Had a good noon class: the better/more efficiently I run, the easier yoga is. After that, I drove across town to the correct florist, then dropped the flowers off at her house. TONS of afternoon traffic, sheesh!

After that, I drove to Junction City for my first PT appt in a long time. Mike and his new resident worked with me for *over 90 minutes*!! (Usual session is :45). Needless to say, my shit is all fucked up: it's a downward spiral of crappy mechanics --> stiffness/dysfunction --> more crappy mechanics... Issues with my pelvis, back, neck, tailbone... you name it!

After that, I drove the :25 back to EUG to get in my run before dinner with Chels.

The run was GOOD. Shit was moving SO much better: what I've been trying to do (trunk L rotation, R hip ext, L hip drive, etc) was WAY easier. So now it's a matter of maintaining those good mechanics so the joints/tissues don't revert to the "stuck mode".

Still felt some points of labor, but otherwise the stride felt good....and solid for a post-yoga run. Ran down 24th to SEHS instead of going through UO.

Got home, cleaned up, and headed to Chels'. She made me an AWESOME dinner: prime rib(!!), potatoes, salad, dessert!

My last annoyance of the day was the awesome cards I ordered her: artistic renditions of rappers (e.g. Drake, etc) DIDN'T come today! F! So I had no card for her, which sucked. Hope they come Sat.

Tried to watch "Valentine's Day" but the Comcast sig was shit! Sheesh! Lots of annoying stuff, but...still a great night. Good convos, per usual.

Probably my best Valentine's Day, all-time. I still have to pinch myself to realize that we're together. Just nutz...
