@Tart Cherry Jam - You're doing fantastic keeping up the exercise!

@Discombobulated - 10 miles! That's a LONG run! That's pretty close to the half marathon, so you should be ready for it. I'm glad your back is doing better. I know sciatica can be bad. I get it sometimes but usually it's short-lived; however, H finally had to have surgery for his at it was so painful and so bad at one point he was sobbing with it. It was doubly bad because our daughter was just a couple months old at the time and he couldn't even hold her, he was in so much pain. Thankfully, the surgery really helped him because I was near my wits' end.

I did a long power walk this morning, just beat out the rain. I got a later start because I slept later than normal, and usually when the sun is up this time of year, walking is hard because not only do I burn easily, I just have photosensitivity to the point where sunlight is absolutely dazzling to my eyes even wearing sunglasses. But thankfully, the partly cloudy weather shifted to completely overcast which made things much easier for me. And of course, I did planks too...though the planks never do seem to get easier!
