So.......
Last week I went to the chiropractor because of back/sciatic nerve pain issues. The Doc did a comprehensive exam with x-rays. Bottom line is that my back is screwed up - a picture is worth a thousand words. The doc says running is out of the question but I can bike. Hence the name change of my blog.
The goal is too stop the deterioration and reverse some of the problem. It will be a work in progress. The good news is that I can ride - he wants me to ease it into it slowly, but I should soon be increasing my mileage. I will struggle listening to him regarding this but I'm trying.
Bottom line as I've told a couple of people is that I can look at life as a glass half full or a glass half empty: I choose half full. So I'm in a great spot mentally. I'm excited about upcoming mountain bike races this fall, even though I will probably finish DFL.
Anyway, I'm not looking for pity or condolences - I'm just tired of explaining to people why I'm not running.
Life is good.
