Well, no more running, for a bit anyway :(  I woke up tuesday morning with very significant lower back pain :p  The hips felt on, just LOADS of pain in the lower back.  I have never had lower back pain at all.  Doc said, just need a bit more time to heal.  He did acupuncture.

I am trying to not be discouraged, but I am ready to be back to normal.  The pain was down on Wednesday and down still more today.  I spent most of yesterday in bed.  I would have liked to stay in bed on Tuesday, but I had to teach a class for church.  It was ok.  I took some ibuprofin and that helped.

At least I did not have the same all over hip pain like I did 2 weeks ago.  Hopefully that means the hips are healed :)  My wish/hope is that the lower back pain is just from it not quite being healed yet. Please don't tell me all the serious things that it could be.  If it recurs again after walking next week, then I am off to a doc for an MRI. CRAP!!!

Back pain is about a 2-3 today :)  30 min VERY gentle yoga.  I am getting a stationary bike tomorrow :)  I sure hope that it doesn't hurt anything :\  I am resigning myself to the fact that running is going to be a bit further out that I had thought :(  I'm trying to focus on a good solid recovery.  I'll talk to the doc on wed, but I am hoping that the St George Marathon is a good reasonable goal for next year. 3rd times a charm, I'm in for sure ;D  At this point I don't think the UVM will work.  Who knows.  I've got to just chill and let my body recover and focus on the things that I can do :)  I am alive.  I can walk.  I can do some modified yoga :)  We shall see about the bike soon :)  I need to trim down my church bag.

45 min stationary bike.  1/4 mile walk. 1 mile run (11mm). 1/4 cool down.  45 min Yoga.  A little niggle in my right hip flexor.  It was actually exhilarating to run today.  It was a TOTAL high!  It felt SO good to kick my bum!  The back and neck have been doing well. :)  My left knee that was hit by the car was weird yesterday.  I am hoping it's nothing :)
