I'm sitting in my car right now during my lunch break. Just didn't feel like being around people. This is giving me a nice chance to let me unwind a little.
I'm still not exercising. At the moment i am in the process of trying to get my physical therapy stuff worked out. I am fighting to see a civilian provider because i don't want to take any more time off of work. Going to the army hospital is a huge inconvenience for me. Especially if i have to go several times a week for many weeks. That is my current battle.
I can't wait for things to get better. I'm not exercising at all right now and I'm still in pain. The pain is better but it's not going away.
I'm signed up for the Armed Forces 5k this weekend, from before all this mess happened. I still plan on running it, provided I'm not in massive amounts of pain. It's just a 5k so i should be fine.
I have become kind of lax with my diet in the midst of all this. So I'm cleaning that up again and cutting calories once more. I'm still about 4 lbs away from my original goal weight. My plan is just to eat right and see if i lose anything. Since I'm not exercising i still need to be accountable. I can't let this become an excuse for letting myself go
Maybe in another week or 2 I'll go back to some low impact stuff. Just going to wait and see.

so sorry you are having to deal with an injury. it is so frustrating when it is your own body holding you back isn't it. Hope you get better soon.
:( I guess it's better to wait it out and then enjoy pain free running ;)
It's very frustrating. And the crappy thing is I will probably never have pain free running... just from reading the experiences of runners with back problems, and from what my doctor said. She said I will probably deal with back pain my whole life. I've already had it for most of my life, just up until now it's been nothing but an annoyance. My hope is to just get it to a manageable level, and to a point where I can run again. Time and patience!
