BACK WOES

I know there are more important things happening in the world and that you probably came here looking for something profound to help you make it through the day, but sadly my sole contribution at this point in time is a health update.

My back's killing me - and I'm getting worried.

Saturday I am scheduled to run the 6.2 miles Great Cow Harbor Race, but I'm going to need to be feeling a heck of a lot better to pull that one off. I haven't been near the gym since last Thursday, so I'll head over there in the morning just to see what I can do.

Meanwhile my wife keeps reminding me that I shouldn't take more than eight Ibuprofen in the course of a day, but I keep swallowing four every four hours just to get some relief.

That's my tale of woe. I'm hoping things improve quickly because it's not just the run that's at stake, it's the sponsorship I've got too!
