Impromptu hike to Timp.  Totally forgot about eclipse.  Got up there right as happening. 2 hours 20 min to saddle.   Snowy the last mile.   Spots before that. With ice.  Had to slow. No crampons or poles.  Didn't go to top. Just saddle.  Ten min at saddle.  Very very cold.  Wore shorts.  Only cold at saddle. Not cold ever before or after.  Wore cotapaxi jacket thin long sleeve.  And tank.  Gloves. Fuzzy ones.  Camel back and one granola bar at saddle.  Four hours 55 min.    Fell on way down walking fast. Ice patch. Paid for it two days later. Unable to get up with out swearing.  Lower back.   Better now.  Mud city last 3.5 miles.  Loved the day.  Falling didn't stop me on way down.  Met Kim on way up a mile from top.  She got back ten min before me as I was sliding all over and had to go down on my butt several times from saddle to valley.  Prett sketchy there and since I have a broken pubic bone no risking stupidity.

Really bad back and left hip pain.  Swear worthy with certain movements.  Pt appt helped. But still acted up remainder of day.  I had done a lot of cleaning too Saturday.   So by Sunday night that's when it hit hard.  Worked with a brace Tuesday and Wednesday. Corset.   Ice directly ti lower spine helped.   PT scraped left hip and piriformis Monday.
