July 13
Day before yesterday, July 11, I went to bed after walking with minnie, because I needed to sleep before work...I woke up around 6pm....and couldn't hardly walk...I was in some pretty intense pain. R gave me a massage, And I did some stretching...It helped a bit...but I was still in considerable pain...anyhow...managed to work...next day I could hardly move again, so went to the chiropractor...we discussed my hiking, and I admitted that I may have over done it a bit...that is why I chose to take a couple of days with easier walks...giving my muscles time to recover. He said that that was a good idea...he explained that my muscles were building And that my glutes and upper back muscles were fighting against each other...so my glutes were pulling down on my left side...and my upper muscles were pulling up on my right side...so I was off kilter...He gave me an adjustment...then we went over the stretches that I do...turns out that I did all the right stretches, but was lacking 2. And the ones I was lacking is what caused the problem...so I did learn a lesson there...seek professional help before starting an exercise routine.
Back was feeling somewhat better today, so R, puppy and I went to the doggy park...we walked to the end...then went down to the beach...walked back the beach and then up to car...it was a good walk....I worked up a sweat!
