dragging out of bed too!\u00a0 My alarm went off and I was right in the middle of a dream.\u00a0 I hate when that happens because it makes me so groggy and fog headed.\u00a0 I needed something to

down to only once a week now (YaY!) and hopefully this means my ham is getting better.\u00a0 While it bothered me on last Friday for my run there was no lingering pain nor pain the next day.\u00a0 And
