40 minutes walking at 5:10 a.m. with Elaine and Savannah, my out of shape chocolate lab.  3 easy miles running this evening on the trail behind Little Mountain.  Felt a bit better than last week.  Try every other day or so for a while.

Gold's Gym this morning.  20 minutes on the elliptical and 20 minutes on the recumbent cycle.  No pain.  MRI scheduled for Friday.  It's nice to live in a small town where you can run into your doctor and your therapist at the same time and have a consultation right then and there including my wife in the meeting.  Is that multi-tasking or what?

40 minutes walking with Elaine and Savannah at 5:10 a.m.  3 miles running at 4:30 p.m.  Gorgeous day.  Behind Little Mountain on the trails mostly.  Back felt a bit better than it did on Monday, which wasn't bad, but I felt a bit worse afterwards.  MRI tomorrow.

Gym this morning.  20 min. elliptical, 10 min. upright cycle, 10 min. recumbent, 20 min. on treadmill at 8:30 pace, then ran 1.25 miles home.  Locked out of the house, so I worked in the yard for an hour until Sharon got home.  It was a conspiracy to get me to do some yard work.
