W3D1

I was worried that the increased time jogging today was going to be difficult but the preparation had worked well. My lower back pain early in the morning continues but with stretching (especially tilting the pelvis while lying on my back) works well to loosen overnight stiffness. Even though it was hard to start this morning run, I'm enthusiastic about the rest of the journey. I get knee twinges now and again but as they don't persist I'm guessing that the joints are accommodating the increased activity.

Great run, remember warmup and cool down. Glad the pelvic tilts are working they are great, you can do them throughout the day while sitting in a chair too. Increasing core strength will help back and running, Oldfloss gve some links above. Happy running
