But, for the immediate future, that's about all I can do as I am waiting for a piriformis muscle that I strained or sprained in a Pilates class to heal up... I could probably do it while it is still injured because the running/cycling movement shouldn't stress it. But, I'm just playing it safe. It was just a week ago I was taking Percocets for the pain...

But I am very much both looking forward to it and dreading it -- because it frankly sounds less than pleasant. Did he REALLY say: "Repeat until you see Jesus"?
