Stretching



I thought Barb had dreamed about how a friend of mine from baseball had sent me stretching exercises for my sore back.  She said she definitely remembered me telling her the story just a few days before.  I told her no I didn't remember telling her any story like that.  Barb said you are really losing it in your old age.  I said no I never told her the story she remembered and she must have dreamed it.  Then a couple of days later I was talking to Stan on Skype and I asked him if there were any yoga exercises that he knew of that would help my sore back.  So he looked some videos up for me and sent me an email with the links.  I was doing the exercises one day soon after and I remembered the story I told Barb.  It was a fellow who I knew from fastball in Ottawa not a friend of mine who posted a story about how his doctor said that he had really tight hamstrings and that was the reason he had a sore lower back.  The doctor recommended that he learn to touch his toes to stretch his hamstrings.  He had some before and after pictures of himself learning to touch his toes and a link to a video called Touch Your Toes in 41 Days with some stretching exercises.  I had tried to touch my toes and I was about the same as him in his before pictures.
