Hi everyone  Only one muscle in my lower back still wants to go into spasm, so got out and walked around the yard a bit. First taking photos, then went in the back field to see the sassafras tree; yellow this year, red last year. Love the three shapes of the leaves. The birds were all over; with binoculars could see tons of juncos and various sparrows (none of the nasty house sparrows) - juncos, an indication of migration, no wonder there were so many. Such a nice fall day. Cloudy at first, then started to drizzle a bit. Cool, but not cold. All the colors started to show: purple asters, dusky pink hydrangea, deep brick red sedum, yellow/orange/red maples.

be like Dow, be like Dow! I wanna Be Dow!   HA! oh no you don't!! Course the very NEXT day after I bragged about swimming without missing a single day for almost two months...guess what? We went to help serve a fund raiser dinner for a friend and instead of swimming, washed dishes for an hour that night!! Lesson learned: swimming is MUCH easier!!! Fergus, I usually try to swim 60 laps, and they tell me 51 laps in the health club pool is a mile. Can't quite figure out how many meters that is, lol. It usually takes me about 40 minutes. Last few days have been having problems with my sacrum and left SI joint, and I fear that my flip-turns could be making them worse. Seems to be a connection. So for a while, it's time for some regular old-fashioned turns.  Go everybody!!

Recently I've decided to train for a 5k that was about 3 months away (now 2). I had given up running for almost half a year. I started small and worked my way up about 1/4 a mile each run (about 4-5 times a week). I'm currently at about 3 miles, 4-5 times a week and my pain levels have dropped more than half what they were, down to about a 1-2. I sleep a lot better. I have seem to have more pain free days now too. Still don't take any drugs and no diet. The Turmeric supplements did nothing for me. I'm just glad I can get back into shape again.

Good job sounds like you are ready to go on the 5K. Have fun with it.

It is to dark in the morning to run now. I rely on being able to see for balance. It is not the time of year I start running at lunch. Today's run 3.54 miles 35:02 minutes.
