Back/Butt/Leg/Hip felt pretty good this morning.
Bent over to tie my shoe.
Back/Butt/Leg/Hip didn't feel so good anymore (e.g., fell to the floor shrieking in pain, would have called 911 if I could have reached my phone). After about ten minutes I managed to crawl to where I could grab the counter and pull myself up. While standing up my back "cracked" and the pain subsided. Double dosed Tylenol the rest of the day. Had cramps in the afflicted area the rest of the day but seem to be okay now. It's been pretty awful.

Perfect spring weather. Went over to Hinckley to hang out with rock climber friends and do some hiking. Might work on my bike a little and go for a ride this evening.

A good visit to the SoP.
Back/butt/hip/leg feeling better. Not 100%, but much better.
Did a variety of easy movements including goblet squat hold, ring rows, hanging from the bar, pushups on the knees, strict presses with 11# bar, upright rows, curls, slow muscle snatches with 11# bar, slow C&J with 11# bar. Then, this afternoon, went for a nice bike ride:

followed by a 2 mile walk.

If my back is still good tomorrow, after all this, I think things are looking up.
