Resting

Hi everyone,

Disappointed I didn’t go to the party on thurseday. As I spent the day in bed. My back hurt. So boss said rest today don’t work. They are sweet. Boss asked me not to work out this week but rest. I agreed. So sadly no run today.

Or tomorrow or Sunday. However, if I feel better Monday I will pick it up again. If I don’t then I will visit a doctor. Hopefully will be better.

Hope it all feels better very soon. Keep walking if you can’t run. Staying mobile is crucial to back problems. Walk or lie flat. Sitting not a good idea. Hugs and take care! 🤗💐

Sorry to hear you have a bad back. Try to keep it mobile. Have a look arc yoga for backs by Adrienne on you tube just using really gentle exercise, don't overdo anything. The temptation with backs is to lie still but all the advice seems to be to mobilise when you can. Good luck

Sorry to hear you are not well! Back pain must be really awful. I think it's best to follow the advice of the graduates above, take it slowly, see a doctor if necessary. This is not the end of running, it's just some extra recovery days. Get well soon!

I think your right, it’s just a few days rest. I think will be okay
