At least for the next 10 days we still won't get above freezing, which will make it like three weeks in a row. Bother.
And it won't stop snowing.
Mind you, it's not inches upon inches like last week, but there is always a new covering - which for aesthetic purposes is nice - it covers all the grey and brown slush. But one-quarter to one-half inch daily starts to add up.
Not enough to pull out the snowblower and well, shoveling is now off the table for moi.
Last week did me in. We couldn't get the snowblower to work, so Blobby did it all by hand - all 15-17". And then, out of the kindness of my heart (no honest!), I did it for my sister in law.
My core was sore for sure. Painfully sore. Until it wasn't.
.....then all the pain centered in my lower back, which manifested when I bent over to pick something up.
As Dr. Zachary Smith might have yelled - "oh, the pain!".
The weekend consisted of naproxen, flexeril and heating pads. And no running.
Things were better when I moved. Sitting and getting up from sitting were the pains - literally. I was doing so well - until yesterday morning. Another crouch to get something and wham-o.
Granted it's not AS bad as Friday, but it ain't great. More of the meds. More of the pad. None of the running.
Technically half / marathon training started last week (though cancelled due to horrible weather). Actually it now starts this evening - which I'm not planning on attending. A 3 mile run in single digit temps isn't going to put me that far behind. The drive each way would take longer than the run.
710 was so worried about me having a heart attack by shoveling, no one saw the back thing coming.
Insult to injury? After I finished with that 15-17" clearning, 710 got the snowblower working.
Bother!
