GETTING BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS

After suffering a back injury Thursday, I finally got back to running today. Nothing major, just 5.3 miles today on a rather warm afternoon (95 degrees). The good part of the run was what happened afterwards....I could bend over and touch my toes. I have not been able to do that in three days. Mind you, that ability only lasted for about an hour because after sitting down to dinner I had lost my flexibility....but I could bend over and touch my toes for an hour at least. Looking forward to running again tomorrow and being able to tie my shoes without pain. I will keep you posted on this INTERESTING and MUST KNOW information.

Crazy :)

Hope you are feeling better soon.

I still can't bend over and touch my toes. Never could. Even with these freakishly long, ape like arms hanging from my shoulders.
