My back pain has returned with a vengence. I knew I needed to walk or run today and running wasn't happening - I think the nerve is being pinched more intensely since I can feel it all the way into my foot now instead of just down my thigh. No good. It was nearly healed, too. No clue what I did that busted it all up again.

So I dragged Joshua on a walk with me, and my pace was pathetic because of the stupid pinched nerve. I hope I can strengthen it enough to go running next week, since the weather's gotten back to a manageable number again.

Stupid spines. Why couldn't evolution do a better job with them?!
