It's so easy to see how "life gets in the way" and it's easy to overlook aches and pains. <br /><br />I have a friend that is my age and had twins (17 years ago) and she has constantly battled back problems since they were born. The good thing about being in Boulder - is you found something to get to the root of the cause instead of just prescribing muscle relaxers and pain pills as in the case of my friend.<br /><br />Considering your injury - it really makes your Houston Marathon that much more impressive! As you know - I think you are doing the right thing to make sure you are healthy for many years in the future. :)brgInRedSidisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715235341995717590.post-90763739791026121142012-04-02T09:09:28.768-06:002012-04-02T09:09:28.768-06:00You look so happy in your pregnancy pic. :-) Thoug...You look so happy in your pregnancy pic. :-) Though I'm certain it was tough on your back to carry those two around for 9 months! It's great you're finally working through this. It is SO easy to put these things off because you don't have time (or you're worried about what they will tell you), but it is worth it to care for yourself and emerge stronger. And you will!!Lisa @ Cow Spots and Taleshttp://cowspotsandtales.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715235341995717590.post-34479739424290405522012-04-01T20:04:48.901-06:002012-04-01T20:04:48.901-06:00I can not believe how great you look pregnant with...I can not believe how great you look pregnant with twins! <br /><br />Funny how we keep thinking we are treating our pains but many times we are not doing all we could. I spent over a year not being able to bend over all because I was scared of the chiro. A few visits later and all back pain/stiffness was gone. Crazy I lived that way for a year.Juliehttp://youjusthavetotri.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715235341995717590.post-29232234995353675262012-04-01T14:35:12.648-06:002012-04-01T14:35:12.648-06:00Great post and one we should all be grateful for. ...Great post and one we should all be grateful for. Women talking to each other = more happiness, less pain! <br /><br />My mom has really bad back problems and I dont want to get to that point ever. My back bothers me a lot--- caused by looooong work days, stress, and any speedwork. Pilates has been my saving grace and I hope it stays that way.

Caused by basically the same reasons (though I didn't have twins, I gained as much weight as you did!). About 3 years after (my) Will was born, my back went out one day and I could not move it hurt so bad. I went to see a chiro and once it got better I started running more and also found Pilates. I loved Pilates and really feel like it changed my life. I even became a Pilates teacher! When I was pregnant with Gus though, he was my biggest baby by more than a pound and it was hard on my body. my back went out about 2 weeks before he was born. It was awful. After he was born I tried to resume running and doing Pilates to re-strengthen my core. It was a long road, with setbacks and recovery. But I kept at it. Now I make Pilates almost a daily thing - when I foam roll every night at home I also do 5-10 minutes of Pilates. Plus 2xweek of strength training at the gym. It is a LOT of work. But I agree with you - the pain of not running is way worse. So it is worth it to me to make the time to strengthen my core. Also, it has absolutely helped me with improving my running! Sorry for the long comment :o) Hope you feel better soooooon!!!Jessica Hofheimerhttp://www.paceofme.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715235341995717590.post-79544509190973734822012-04-01T14:00:28.530-06:002012-04-01T14:00:28.530-06:00It's amazing how much pregnancy can change our...It's amazing how much pregnancy can change our body.
