I have been laid up for the last five days with a bad back. Riding nothing but my recliner was making me crazy, so this morning I had to get out of the house.
I suited up and headed for the desert mountain foothills near my house. I ran through 30 miles of curves and rolling hills and farmland. It's funny how when your mind is completely occupied with making rapid fire calculations, trajectory, hand and foot controls, etc etc. My back pain was completely forgotten, and when I got home I still felt pumped up so I went on the treadmill and put on a couple more miles. Then it was a hot steamy shower and I felt better than I have in a week.
Is my back completely healed? No but I feel better than I did yesterday. I think tomorrow morning I may just have to make another appointment with Dr. Yamaha!
