I was stiff and tired Friday and Saturday. I got my husband to rub my back Friday night and he put some serious effort into it, which got rid of a good bit of the pain, though Saturday I was still a little tight and yoga didn't feel all that good.

I loved watching the Giants win the Super Bowl with only a few seconds left in an impossible play under pressure. I knew that the WS fencers were the favorites for the team gold but still came away with an impressive bronze.
