So there is the missing 10 days. noticable stiff muscles in the back. Will probably give the back a rest for a few days. Focus on cardio and see if my energy level improves. Been fighting a cold for the last 3 days and I think that may be the motivation and back issue in a nut shell. Or I could be getting old and parts are starting to rear out??? Naw probably the cold.

The weather is actually been pretty good and the ground has been drying out nicely, I may actually try running on the bark track at the park next week, we'll see??
