MRI results and streak day 24 #twit2fit

Ok, so I had an MRI yesterday, and it shows that I have a bulging disc between L4 and L5.  Running doesn’t hurt and things seem to be getting better, although slowly.  We’ll see what physical therapy brings.

I believe I’m going to be avoiding anything that resembles a sit-up now for the rest of my life, as I think that’s when all this started.
