Welcome to Readers’ Workouts, the weekly event where book lovers share workout stories, goals, successes, and challenges.

I was doing fine with February, on track to meet my goals as of Saturday night. But, I woke up with lower back pain on Sunday morning — probably a result of standing too long while staffing a table at a conference the day before. Sigh.

I managed some short walks on the last two days of February. My current theory is that the worst thing I can do for my back is sit too much. I’m not sure if slow, short walks are helping, but they don’t seem to be hurting.

So, I came a little short of meeting my February goals, but, at least, I didn’t stop the streak of daily exercise that I’ve had going since November 1. I’m going to wait a day or two to set my March goals depending on how fast it looks like my back is going to improve.
