Lower back pain

Went to take out the garbage, and tweak - that was it. Its been a week now, with very slow progress. I was told it might be because of tight hip flexors, likely from too much cycling and not enough running ? Any tips as to what I can do right now to help this - stretching, whatever ?

Truth!
6. I believe that a well fitting sports bra will make every run more enjoyable.
13. I believe that you don’t have to be the best at something to have it be your passion.

Re: The Dark Side of Fitness

I'm sure some of us can relate to some of the things they talk about in this article. My take is that if someone is Type-A and mildly (or extremely) obsessive to begin with, it doesn't much matter whether your obsession of choice is fitness, cleaning, or academics.

Re: Weird Weather Wednesday

I was lightly raining when I left for the pool at 5:45AM. When I left the pool just after 7AM it had turned to frozen drizzle. By 9AM, giant flakes were falling from the sky, but it's stopped now (likely just temporary). 2100m swim done. Will run on the TM later. I was out doing errands midday - co...
