Yes - that is .2 miles. Pinched a nerve in my lower left back on Sunday and I am basically flat on my back most of the time. Hobbled around the condo complex with my cane to try and keep moving some of the time. I have to be very careful not to turn wrong or spasms start.

Such Fun!

********

Went to a new doctor in the afternoon who changed the diagnosis from a pinched nerve to a sprained ligament. Everything the first doctor told me to do was crippling me. This doctor wanted me to walk as much as possible, so pushed my niece in a stroller for an hour and then walked another 30 or so minutes later.

First PT appointment at noon. He put my back and hips back in place and then assigned me the Cat Plus stretch to try and keep the lower back moving freely.

Four miles walking in the early PM.

4 miles with the dog - started back on run/walk intervals. The back did not stiffen up appreciably. Stretched good afterwards.
