Well, February was a disaster. Snow, snow, more snow, and still more snow helped a laziness that extended through an entire month. Yeesh. So today I promised myself that I’d start up again. By the time I’d gotten everything done that I needed to during the day, though, it was already getting cooler, so I figured I’d use my parents’s treadmill.

Ugh.

I hate the treadmill under the best of circumstances, but this was an absolute nightmare. A mile into the run (I’d planned on doing three), my lower back started hurting. And hurting. And hurting. Half a mile of that was all I could take; it wasn’t going away and all enjoyment had gone out of the proverbial window. I’m not proud of calling it quits, but I think it was the right thing to do.

It’s going to be an uphill battle to get back to where I was, though, that’s for certain.
