Back pain stops play

For the first time in 4 months, going to have to listen to my body and take it gentle. Back going into spasm, which it does with me, but not since starting running. So gentle pottering, some emergency diazepam and let’s see how things are in a couple of days. Keeping everything crossed. 🤞🏃🏻‍♀️

Fingers (and everything) crossed for you - I hope you feel better soon. Backs can be so dodgy I know so make sure you take it easy and rest up. Hugs and sympathy 🏃‍♀️😘❤️

After 12 years I’m used to this pattern, few good weeks, months if I’m lucky, then crippled for a bit. Doing some core strength work and hoping my improved fitness speeds the recovery. 3 days of muscle relaxants usually nips it in the bid, we hope! X
