Thanks to JD's recommendation, I started using Brainsync cd's. These cd's REALLY help me relax -- something I was unable to do for a long time:

For those of you who are stubborn, impatient, and unwilling to give "skilled relaxation" a real try (like I was), I recommend you try these. They are not taped voices telling you to breathe deeply and imagine yourself completely healed, narrated by someone whose voice is even too soft for NPR. The Brainsync uses the stereo channels in your headphones, using "theta waves" to help your brain relax.
Result: Less tension and a good night's sleep!
Thanks JD!!! Skilled relaxation cd's

Skilled relaxation
Used skilled relaxation after my 7k run instead of the sit ups . Feel a lot better on the perineum . Don't have the usual burning feeling I get shortly after the run . And a day later still feels pretty good .
