| Well I went out for a 5.4 mile run this morning. I stuck to my new warm up routine and then took off. I felt great! I hit the half way point at 20:56. I then turned and headed home. Right about half way I felt a slight twinge behing my right shoulder blade. Kind of like a cramp. I just dropped my arm down a little swung it around and kept going. It started to feel a little better after about 25 meters. I was on pace and feeling great again. Until about the end of mile 5. Right at the end of mile 5 I felt my lower back tighten up and start to spasim. I slowed way down and tried to take deep breaths. It lasted for no longer than 20 seconds and I was able to pick up the pace again. I finished the run in 42:16 just under 7:50 miles. Everything was still feeling great. However after my shower my back started tightening up. Now it is real stiff. I may have pushed it too hard this week. I may take an additional day off tomorrow. It will depend on how it feels after a long soak in the tub tonight. I hope I can continue with my plan, but wont risk a long term injury if it is still hurting. I hope everyone has a great run and a wonderful day. |
