Health issues

I have not run for the last few days, and don't know when I'll be able to resume, frankly. As the picture from my recent post shows, I was afflicted with back problems during the 5K I ran on December 3. Reflecting on it, this is precisely the same situation that occurred in the summer of 2009 when I had to take several weeks off, and visited a physical therapist (Probility) for numerous sessions in which they finally determined that, though "no one can say why" this happened, for some reason the QL (quadratus laborum) muscle in my back had tightened up, hiking one hip up considerably higher than the other, thus altering my stride and causing the back problems. The difference between the two times is that then, I was working my half-time position at Firestone, so I was able to go to the therapy sessions in the afternoon. Now, however, with a full-time job, it's hard to say just how or when the situation will improve. At present it is extremely difficult for me to arise from a seated position, or from bed ... but once I'm up I'm able to move without tremendous difficulty. I'm wary, though, of trying to run, and perhaps worsening the situation.
