I am posting this report fully a month after the event, but here it is. It was my first half-marathon… Being my first winter as a runner, I didn’t know how it would go, but I grew to enjoy the winter runs… even though it meant running in cold, wind and even falling snow. At one point I was set back by an injury, but I quickly recovered from that, and by March 12, I was energetically charging hills once again, despite wind and snow. (more at link above)

While shoveling snow on Wednesday morning, I (Charlie) felt something go “yoink” in my lower back, on the right side. I knew instantly that this was trouble. I’ve injured a muscle there before, but never this bad. Carefully, slowly, I finished shoveling and hoped all would be well. Boy, was I wrong! (more at link above)
