My back is pretty angry at me for running. As soon as I started, the lower/side muscles
started screaming. I figured they just needed
to loosen up… yeah, I think they loosened up about 50 minutes in to my 60
minute run...and even then, they were not too happy.
On the plus side, my legs and heart were soo happy to be running! I could feel my legs working, going up a
hill, and it felt so amazing to be using them again.
A nice lady ran past me, smiling, wearing a “Run Happy” shirt. I glared.
I was definitely NOT running happy.
But I kept reminding myself how happy I am to be alive, and that some
back pain meant that I was feeling something
which is a lot better than…the alternative.
So that helped. I was
ridiculously slow, really limited by how much impact my back could take (I
tried speeding up and it just hurt more, so didn’t push it) but I focused on
moving, rather than caring about my speed.
As long as things keep getting better, I’m happy.
18 days until Milwaukee, and counting.
I am stressing myself out thinking about it. I need
to swim!!!
