Planned day of rest from running.  

Did 12.5 miles of low impact riding on the Peloton bike.   Did something to my neck, no trauma that I can recall, but it really is stiff and is getting increasingly worse.

Rode the Peloton bike after walking a mile or so with Finn outside.  Did a mile on the treadmill of walking at a 12% grade - neck hurts and foot was achy too.

AM - 2 miles of walking with Finn and then some yoga.   Neck was excruciating - did not sleep well, and literally could not run without pain.  Chiropractic appt this morning.

PM - lunchtime - did 7.5 miles on the elliptical at decent HR - equivalent to an easy run.   Chiro did an adjustment to my neck - will be seeing him for several days over the few weeks...Neck improved a bit after the adjustment.  Feeling pretty banged up.
