[quote=Anonymous]I used to be an avid runner, ran marathons, half marathons and did some light weights/strength exercises on a regular basis. I've always had some sort of lower back problem (an MRI showed some fluid leakage several years ago?) and I'd have to address running cautiously. I had a baby about a year ago, and was initially good about staying fit, but after some major life changes, stopped working out for several months.

My back pain has come back in the last month very severely. I used to have maybe one debilitating episode a year. I've had about 3 this month.I think this is partially due to not working out as much and having weaker core strength. I have no idea how to get back on track. I'm not having weight issues (I'm generally small), but definitely have strength issues. I also started a very stressful career which makes it difficult for me to make yoga classes, etc. I would really just love to get back to running and some planks/push ups but am terrified.

I went for a run a few days ago, not far, maybe a mile or two, and this morning, again, my back signaled that it was done.  Now I'm trying to keep up with a one year old and my back is not cooperating. Anyone have any experience with this?
