| The physio did dry needling today, which basically is trigger-point therapy with needles. So I had two 6 cm needles in my butt today:-)
But it helped!!! Today (Saturday) I didn't have any pain when I got up and it's only slowly coming back right now from sitting. This is an improvement over constant pain all the time.
The doctor and my PT said some easy movement to promote circulation could be good for it so I went on the bike for a while. |

| Oh man I felt awful today on my run. I had low blood pressure and felt somewhat sick to my stomach. I was running at a snail pace. To make matters worse my back is still stiff and bothering me during the day. grrr. Granted it felt better after the run, which means it needs loosening up, right? |

| Marc and I were supposed to do the normal strength training program tonight. He picked me up with the car, when we got there we were both lethargic that we sat in the car in the parking lot for about 20 minutes before going into the gym. It was nice to just sit and chat though. What finally motivated us to go in was the idea of buying a cola in order to get some energy. This however resulted in us sitting in the lobby of the gym talking for another 20 minutes. It was nice, but eventually we did start the training.
Everything was cut short because of our pathetic state. My back hurt during a bunch of exercises, which I therefore had to leave out. In the end this part of the training was only about 15 minutes long. |

| strength 45:00 [2] | |

| In order to still do some of the usual exercises and not strain my back, I reduced the amount of weight I was lifting. This worked great. I also did some other exercises we did last fall to try to build a base in my strength again. If my back hurt after a few reps I would stop and do something else. All in all I could be wicked frustrated that my back still hurts, but on the other hand I am happy to do some weight training at all. Otherwise I would loose a lot of strength and have to start from new again. |

| The doctor says my back is nothing too serious and I can continue training as long as it doesn't make it worse. If it doesn't go away by Wednesday I will get some PT prescribed. |

| A no running day for a change. Back felt good on the bike too. |

| Basically only core strength exercises and some stuff for my legs. I decided I need to do more core strength to avoid injuries like the one with my back now. |
