I said on the 26th that I would post even if I did not run or was injured. Now 4 days later I get around to posting. I have been taking it easy with my injury. I took a couple days off work and took muscle relaxers and all they did was make me sleepy. Went to Doctor Armstrong and he looked at me like what am I supposed to do. Send me to a surgeon, definitely not. Give me pain pills, not. More muscle relaxers, Not. He finally gave me another round of steroids. I am taking them and at night I take a pain pill we had left over so I get some sleep. It has helped. We had to get coal yesterday and the back flared up some. Slept good last night and unloaded the coal today. My back was tight so I thought what he heck, go for a run. I treadmilled it for 3.01 miles which took 40 minutes and burned 510 calories. First run in 15 days. Hard time getting going. I don't think I feel any worse than when I started. Actually somewhat better. I will do another one tomorrow. Just Run
