2021 how is going?

[hutch]

Not so hot

I woke up on the 31st with a stiff neck
and only got worse last night...


But am not quite ready to pronounce 2021 a bust just yet

Just talked to my mom and wished her happy new years. She said she believes the election is not over and we will still be getting four more years of Trump come January 20.  2021 the same as 2020 for me so far.

Krug’s NV champagne has really fallen off so this year is kinda shit so far.

stimulus check for 4 just showed up in my bank account
so going pretty good for the first day

Didn’t hear about MF Doom until this morning. Also heard a cousin has COVID. So not a good start.

Took an 18 mile bike ride which ain’t a lot but is for me. So it hasn’t been all bad.

What a crappy day
Cold and wet, gonna try to get a ride in tomorrow

[grateful]

Got a 16.5 mile run in this morning...beautiful day for it!

Perfect day.
 Got a 15 miles biking too.  Was a big achievement, as it was the first time on a bike since my injury (6 months)
So anecdotaly 2021 has been outstanding

Got in a four mile flat dog walk at Rachel Carson because that's the biggest "hike" I could get my family to do. Meanwhile my friend who has cancer hiked Old Rag today.

At least I got to try some beers next door at Elder Pine. My favorite may have been the ESB, Bitter Geezer. Didn't even know I liked that style, but damn it was tasty.

Is this an exercise thread?

Did 26 miles on the bicycle today.

[hutch]

My neck is even worse


I have barely moved from this chair... I f do not know how I could mangle it so bad frickin sleeping.. I think I got a pinched nerve in there too

I gave away all my good pain meds and this ibuprofen does zero


Watching Soul (movie).... lots going for it

Hutch, I would seek a professionals advice, back/neck pain can really become a debilitating problem and my opinion is pain meds for those kind of injuries cause even more problems (see long list of dead celebs and avg people).  Pain meds never ‘fix’ a back injury

Personally I have had a lot of success with chiropractic YMMV
It’s probably covered by your insurance

HA
Well it’s not very 2021 to brag about where you’ve gone or who you hung out with

On a related tangent I am adopting a baby sourdough starter (well think mail order bride)
It hasn’t arrived in the mail but I’m tracking it like norad on santa
I’ve already read “what to expect when you are expecting”
Some people feed it 3 times a day, but I think I’m going with 2
We were going to have a gender reveal party... but that got complicated
Do people name their starters?

[hutch]

Well usually it’s just a stiff neck and goes away

Nice park when it isn't packed. In the past we've gone there and had trails to ourselves.  Proximity to EP can't be beat.

The trail behind Blue Mash can be nice, too, but isn't anywhere close to four miles.
