This vs. That


A postpartum gift to myself : The Asics Gel Kayano 16 (last season's, this season is 17) in pink.  My favorite running shoe currently on the planet.  Get the size right, & they feel like butter.

But, then there's THIS ... messing up my running plans:


Apparently, there's something called "pelvic girdle pain" implicated both during & sometimes after pregnancies -- it's all the more likely after twin pregnancies (makes sense).  What seems to happen is this: the laxity of the ligaments persists, creating instability in the pelvis, that in turn makes pain radiate in the region.  Running is, of course, a no-no.  My doctor said it could resolve itself after a few more weeks, the web site says it could be chronic, & various chat boards say it could just go away after 6 months, or so.  We'll see...
