Decided to race the Dam to Dam 10 mile kind of last minute. It turned out ok. It was the first time I had tried to run hard since my injury. Long story short, I wanted to go out conservative and run a mild progressive. Ended up going out too fast (as usual lol), and my sciatic flared about half way through. Went into survival mode and gutted out a slow 1:07 finish. Sad when I ran a 64 with ease the week before.

 About 10 minutes after I could hardly walk and had problems with the back until the chiro appointment on Monday. Will focus on removing bad habits and running within my means moving forward.

Great to meet Melody finally and see her run an awesome race. I hope to meet up with her again when I am back to full strength. Also cool to meet Tyler S.  

I will run this again next year, and if healthy it will be a much different tale :).
