Recovering From a Back Sprain
I sprained my back two weeks ago, probably from excessive rowing. My last row (72 minutes) was on October 7, 2020, after which the low back pain was too severe for me to do any exercise. In addition to the pain, the back was as stiff as a board from muscle spasm, presumably of the […]

I attended a scheduled appointment with my gastroenterologist this morning. My full blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein were all normal.

Perhaps too […]
Ruck in the Neighborhood
Completed a 9.11 km ruck around the neighborhood, my first ruck for many months. Picked up 5 kg of brown rice from Tesco, and carried it home in my backpack on the final 3.55 km.
Kombucha Is Not for Me
In an effort to improve my sense of well-being, I tried kombucha for the first time two weeks ago. The results were not as I had expected. Drinking only about 150 ml per day, I felt fine on the first two days, but on Day 3, I experienced a distinctly depressed mood. Because nothing else, […]
