Had a doctor appointment yesterday that went... well, I suppose. I have to wait another 6 weeks, at least, before I can get another epidural. I got a prescription for physical therapy, so at least I feel like I am headed in the some direction. I had been hesitant to stretch lately for fear of twisting / bending / doing something horribly uncomfortable to my back. The doc said I could stretch, gently, so that was great news! I feel pretty good today, though there is some nagging discomfort in my lower-right back.
School started two hours late due to last night's snow, and the sleep-in felt great! The hour-long commute, however, did not (usually it takes me 12 minutes).
I had planned some easy steady state and stretching this morning, but didn't want to drive down the very steep hill to the gym, so I stayed in. I did 3 x 4' tabata squats, followed by lots and lots of stretching. Surprisingly, the squats did not aggravate my leg as I feared they would.
Tonight, workout A1, stage 1 of NROLW-- my first foray! I'll report back later tonight.
