Moving on from my husbands open, gaping wound...
And on to my back. Yikes. I'll spare you the rambling and lists of complaints and just say that I think that the solution is to work out and stretch, stretch, stretch. And then stretch some more. Along with heat and ice (thank you again Dr. E). If you haven't noticed, Dr. E has been saving us lately.
So because I need the daily exercise for multiple reasons I figured that this was in order:

Have I signed up for a race? Um... no. Mostly because I don't want to shell out a bunch of money and partly because there really aren't any races near here until we get closer to the fall and the sun isn't trying to bake us alive. Until I find something I'll just have to let my back and the shooting pain into my leg be my motivator. Hopefully by the time Chad's healed up I'll be able to keep up better with him and he can just jump into the plan with me!
Wish me luck peeps :)
Love it! I need to get back in to a schedule and I think I need to sign up for the 1/2 here that's in NOvember to motivate me. But I keep thinking how much I dread it while training, but at the same time...I think I'm hooked. Hooked on something I hate doing - sad.
