Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

running attempt fail. As soon as I started running I felt almost like a heavy weight bearing down on my lower back, pain started shooting into my piriformis and hamstrings. So I walked/ran. I tried to run as much as I could, I thought that if I could warm up I wouldn't feel it anymore but I could never last long enough. I don't know what I'm going to do. I honestly thought I would go out today and feel great and it would be over. I'm discouraged now for sure. I'm supposed to do at least 30 to 32 miles next week and I don't feel good about missing another week. I will stretch all day and try again tomorrow. Get High my friends bc I think I might cry.

oh man that blows! sorry Lysa. back issues are so weird - one day you can be in pain, and then suddenly it's gone. careful not to overstretch that bugger. i'll plead with Milton for your quick recovery!

you've got a good mileage base too, so missing another week of training won't affect your fitness - better to get that back situation sorted out. maybe hit the gym for some cross training.

I just can't tell if my butt and hamstrings are sore from swimming or from injury. It's hard to know. I feel like its from the original injury though. Like now that my back doesn't hurt as much, I can really feel what the real issue was all along. It just stinks. I'm going to pump the tires up on my bike and try that for a few days. I can't just sit here, I will cry.

Also, thanks for the prayers to Milton. I appreciate it.
