Laid up

Just when my running is getting regular again, I mess up my back with yoga and yardwork. I've got searing pain in my left hip that suggests a herniated disc, and have spent most of yesterday and today in bed. I slept okay last night and hope to again. This is another argument for voting by mail: anybody could find themselves unexpectedly disabled right before election day.

I'm very grateful that I got in a solid mountain run before my mishap. With luck I'll be back out there in a few weeks.
