Pain in the Neck

Literally.  The car accident on Sept. 29th, 2008 is causing me grief.  I woke up on the morning of Dec. 31st, 2008 with a very sore neck.  I assumed I had slept on it funny, pinched a nerve and perhaps the pain would go away in a day or two.  Wrong.  The pain has been building and building.  My  chiropractor is not sure what is wrong and continues to adjust me.  I feel better when I leave her office, but by the next day the pain is back full force.  I finally got in to see my fabulous massage therapist yesterday.  That man works wonders!  All day I felt so amazing.  Late last night I was reading my new book (Secrets of Supplements) and realized...no pain!  I woke up this morning....hello pain in the neck.  Morning is always when it feels a bit worse so I know as I go through out my day it was ease up a wee bit.  I am confident working with my massage therapist will continue to ease the pain.  The first week or so I ran through the pain.  This week I did my long run on Sunday, attempted one run on Thursday and that's it.  I need to rest my body and assist it with healing.  I will do my long run again this Sunday and hope for the best.  I have been walking between 5 and 15km a day to keep exercising.  Praying for this pain in my neck to leave my body....
