If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

today was the first day that my (lower) back finally felt practically back to normal (after tweaking the SI joint last week). walked around the yard a little bit, straightened up the house a bit. Could even bend down and pick things up off the floor today; yep, back nearly recovered nicely, thanks to ice, rest, and naproxen. Used judiciously, looks like I may be able to use naproxen next time I do something silly like carry a chair  tomorrow think i might be able to take a real walk again.

Finally got off the couch and EXERCISED!!!  I swam around in the deep end of the pool while talking to my husband who was trying to study - for 20 minutes!  I'm really glad we don't have to be perfect here and that all activity counts! Love to you all!  GO TEAM!

Walked 1 mile, 25 minutes. Warm today, 73.
My SI / back seem better now. That was pretty fast, ~1 week. Being able to rest on ice a few days first and take naproxen seemed to really do the trick.

Had to park the car 1/2 mile from the building today.
Thankfully the SI joint is much better.
So that was my exercise for the day. Walked 1 mile total from and then back to the car. 20 minutes of walking, 1 mile total.

Woke up early this morning, and since I am afraid to run in the dark I went to the gym. I was on the elliptical for 32 minutes.

This morning I decided to run up Provo canyon before coming to work. Years ago I would I worked near the mouth of that canyon, and would run up it at lunch time. I only work about 3 miles from it now. My GPS battery ran out of juice about 1.25 miles up the canyon. I ran about a 1/2 mile beyond that. So I ran about 3.4 miles.

All people age and get slower, with or without illness, so you rock EXTRA!
