    Just curious, did you get injured? The reason I ask is because I was a competitive runner during my 20s and early 30s. I got a hip injury that sidelined me, so I took up juggling (to replace the running addiction). I eventually got good enough to perform which led me on quite a wild ride for close to 10 years. Actually, my whole life went in a completely different direction because of the injury.

    I did eventually work out the hip problem with a VERY simple stretching technique I learned from an ultra-marathoner. Never had another problem with it, though theses days if I run 15 miles in a week that's a heavy workout week--LOL!

    Anyway, making a kilt is on my list so I guess I better get Barb's book and start training...

    A day without killting is like a day without sunshine.
