I hope you had a wonderful Independence Day (Americans!). I spent a fabulous evening with 3 aunts who were like mothers to me growing up, some of my favorite people in the world. Saturday I did yoga, Sunday I ran 5 miles, Monday I cycled 20 miles, and this morning I went back to playing tennis with my team, albeit a little gingerly with not much jump-and-rotate in my serve.

I feel awed and thankful that only 12 days after a major accident with significant injuries, I was almost whole. My physical therapist had predicted 2-6 months before I could play sports without pain. (When I seriously turned an ankle last year, he predicted 2 weeks off it and a re-eval, and I was running 2 days later.)

I have to think that years of great nutrition, knowledge of how the body works implemented consistently, and yoga, have a lot to do with a miraculous recovery. Thanks to a dozen of you who wrote suggesting Dr. Christopher Bone and Tissue Formula–that stuff is really amazing.

We are planning an 8-city Pacific Northwest / Montana tour for September 14-21. If you are from any of these areas and can help us, especially locating a place to seat enough people–that is our main problem in scheduling a trip!–please write Amanda@greensmoothiegirl.com. I always make sure those who help us get good stuff in exchange!
