February 12, 2011 I posted a blog noting October 16, 2005 as one of the worst mornings in recent memory. That day I stepped out of a hotel in Arlington, VA for a run only to experience excruciating pain brought on by plantar fasciitis. The run did not happen. The Streak was in jeopardy until I arrived home later that day and used a stationary bike to exercise.
March 31, 2012, while preparing for a trip to the Southwest, I felt a sudden tightness in my lower back. I had exercised earlier, so I thought nothing of it as an occasional pain, twinge or spasm is common place. What is not par for the course was the arresting pain that followed. Like a caricature of a goofball man, I forged on with my activities, including a flight to New Mexico.
By the time we reached the hotel, late that night, I was nearly immobilized. My back radiated with pain and I tried to sleep gripped with fear of what the morning would bring.
Listen to your body.
