Back to Square One, part ????

from The Stubborn Tortoise · host Donna Pazdera

It's been a frustrating six or so weeks. Weather and arthritis in my hip and lower back are creating havoc for my return to running.In the last week, I managed to hike 2 miles until my hip yelled at me to stop. Later last week, I returned to the ol' walk-run format.It's a start, but not what I envision. Hoping to get back at it gradually until I can knock out a half or 25K without it killing me.Also, some tales about why you should not let your medications lapse after your primary care physician moves to another state. The former practice will not re-prescribe and without an appointment two months from now.Not great if you need it NOW.The story ends well, but the lesson is learned.
