I wrenched out my back on Saturday so now between my back and my hip I'm pretty much screwed! I went out on the road for 3.10 miles and then I came home and did 30 minutes elliptical and then 1.25 miles on the treadmill. Things felt pretty good on the elliptical and the treadmill but when I was out on the road I felt like between my limp and the hitch that I have in my back it made me feel like I was skipping not running;-) But my back seemed to really loosen up after the elliptical and then on the treadmill everything was tolerable, I will probably keep this same routine up through this week and then next week I am going hunting for a few days so I will take most of next week off, I will probably be hunting Wednesday thru Saturday... I finished up with some strength training on the Bowflex, upper body only.

See ya tomorrow.

I had about 3 hours of sleep last night, so needless to say I did not get out this morning;-(  I might try and go a little later tonight, but my son has a soccer game tonight at 5:30 so it will have to be after that. My hip and back are marginal and they seem to be a little better today, but then again I haven't worked today so that might be  the reason... I also haven't taken any Ibuprofen today and the pain seems to be less than it has been so I guess we'll see. If I run tonight then I will post what I do.

See ya later.

I ran the pretty little hill loop and then headed back to my house, hip was sore as usual and it ticked me off a little bit! I am slowly accepting my fate and just dealing with it, I'm still going down to SG but I don't know if I will run the race,  I guess it will depend on how it heals up between now and then.

 

See ya tomorrow.

Nothing today... This is very frustrating!!! I have another appointment with a different Doctor today to go in a different direction and see what she can do, I will let you know how it goes.

Later.
