The Stick

I dragged my dad to packet pickup at the National Building Museum yesterday. The Cherry Blossom expo was going on and it was a great opportunity to spend someone else's money, such as my dad's. I am now a proud owner of The Stick.

What is The Stick? It's a plastic stick with spindles that is used for myofascial release and trigger point therapy. Basically you roll it over your muscles and it relaxes them.

I'm frequently in a lot of pain after working out, especially after a race. I tested out The Stick after this morning's 10 mile course, and I think it made a difference. I was able to walk all over the National Mall and the Capitol area with minimal hobbling.
