Went for a long walk on the beach this morning, considering I still can't run without a lot of pain in my back. One thing I can say is that once again I've confirmed our decision to live within walking distance to the beach. Seeing the weather this morning, overcast and a bit gloomy, we would never have made a day trip to the beach. As it is, the beach was beautiful, not busy, flat, and warm. I don't know if walking helps my back. It may that the rest of me is happier so I don't notice the pain as much. Whatever it is, I'm always glad I go, just like when I was running.
Jean ran on the beach this morning; not as great an experience as it was very humid for a run. She needed gills, I guess.

Body update
Having not run since March 15th due to a bad back, I started physical therapy Wednesday at the VA. My PT says I have a misalignment where the spine meets the pelvis and that exercises can help. She had me do a couple and it helped some immediately. Hopefully continuing to do these things will get my back to running.

Update Ttime
On about March 15 I did something to my back which has resulted in no running ever since. In fact, I have been doing very little physical activity until very recently when I started doing a core strengthening routine that my VA doctor gave me. It seems to be helping a bit. I go in for physical therapy on June 23. Here's hoping.

Painless running!
Ran 46 minutes today after 45 on Tuesday. No pain except for my shoulder which could hardly be called a running injury....

Back at it
Ran about 30 minutes today. First time in a long time. Very slow and very cognizant of striking heel first in my Sauconys. No pain in the calf and nothing else wrong either. It's a miracle!
