Warmed up for a half mile. 6X800 meter repeats @ 7:30 1% incline I had a longer rest between the 3rd and 4th repeat to go potty. These are still very hard I want these to get easy and they are not!
I have had really bad back pain ever since my speed work on Monday. I fought through it yesterday but the thought of spinning or running down hill kills me.
I went out to do a 9 mile race pace run. I got 3 miles into it and knew my back wouldn't hold out so I went home. I have been trying to heat up my back to make it feel better but to day after my run I iced in instead and it seemed to help. It hurts the most when I am sitting (like when I am at my computer!) so I may not be posting as much but I am still thinking of you guys.
Lifting for my back seemed to help, I was surprised. I am going to ice it now and then go visiting teaching Yes I know it is the last day of the month and as punichment I have to skip yoga today.
17 really fun happy miles...while my back hurt the pain never got worse. It was so fun to run with Kim... I had almost forgotten how much fun. We chatted the whole way cracked jokes and just had a great time. I can't post the split because I forgot to turn my watch on after a potty break but we did really good, slow enough that we were not dead at the end but fast enough to give us confidence going forward.
