With the spine issue apparently stabilized (for now), I'm slowly resuming my jogging regimen. Did I ever mention how much I hate jogging? I dragged my lazy ass out the door this morning into the not-so-dreadfully cold air. New York has mild weather this weekend -- bonus! But the footpaths along the Bronx River are still covered with packed snow and ice. So I only did about a mile, mostly on sidewalks, some on snow. I clearly lost some lung capacity during my month-long lay-up -- I should probably do another mile tomorrow. Got appointments with two different spine surgeons this week. I hope they can give me a plan of action; when they do, I will certainly post it here (because I post everything here).
