This week is the first full week of classes for the new session for me.  Two classes Monday evening, a lovely, cool and sun shiny 12 kilometre walk on Tuesday morning, and two classes Tuesday evening brought pain to my apparently not as in shape as I thought body by Wednesday am.

Once before, about 2 years ago, after sitting in a mini-van for a drive to and from Toronto for a family event, I experienced sciatica.  Caused by many different possible actions, but I am guessing that time it was caused by the extended sitting, it actually took over a month to really go away.

So, here I am again, with the same symptoms wreaking havoc and preventing me from adequately torturing my students last night – but they were all doing really well even if I could only poke and prod at them for certain moves!

I am supposed to be on the couch or in bed, as last night’s sleep did help immensely.  And I am sure that the exercise I did get in class helped too.  I’ll get there very shortly, but I felt like sharing.

Take care of yourselves, get plenty of varied exercise, but don’t push so hard that you hurt yourself!

That’s my advice for today.
