My journey in trying to balance a sedentary job with some workouts and a crazy-busy family.
I run because I fear the day when I can't.

Injury - Lower L back
Back has been "off" since I did some squats after the ADK high peaks hiking. But Monday I took a little nap in my usual place and woke in bad shape. One Chiropractor appointment on Tuesday, rest at home, ice / heat, stretching, and hopefully another on Thursday. Hopefully tomorrow will do the trick as we have to go to the Dome on Sunday for band and also pick up Annie.

Doctor visit with Katie Miller
I'm feeling much better today and in general the shoulder has been improving. She agreed the ibuprofen definitely helped and it was the right thing to do to take 2400mg / day, though long-term that was not something to continue.
There are some exercises to improve mobility & strength. I'll check again in 2 weeks.

Ouch again
R shoulder wicked tender today. I did my regular workout yesterday but added some bent over single arm rows with 15lb weight. Spay did one set of wide arm push ups. Will try to rest.

Ouch
Hope crap my R shoulder hurts. No idea why except for sleeping on my side. It's never felt like this, though.

L knee
Well, I guess it was bound to happen. After years of knee discomfort, I had actual pain starting the week before Thanksgiving. It started to get better for a day or two, but for the last couple weeks I can't bend it or straighten it without pain. It constantly feels swollen. I've made an appointment with orthopedics for next Thursday. The advice I'm getting from friends is a torn meniscus. Well, one can't run forever.
