Okay so I over did the ground cultivating on Saturday.... my back is killing me. I could not run this morning even though I tried. Evening was not much better, but it loosened up a tad. I hope I can get some miles in tomorrow. AM .75 PM 3.5

Could not run this am, back was too sore, after work was able to loosen up just enough to get 4 in. Hope tomorrow is better.

AM- got up and I thought after a quarter mile I was going to have to pack it in due to the back bothering me again, but it did loosen up a tad to let me get 3 miles in. PM- better. not good, but better, allowed me to run 6. Tomorrow I have an all day event with teens at Kings Island (Amusement park- roller coasters baby!) so I hope the back is even better. I will try a morning run before we leave to loosen it up.

Back is sore, but each morning a tad more forgiving. Today it allowed a nice easy 4- I probably could have pushed a little further, but I want it better and with the rest of today walking around and riding coasters (I am so not missing that...back or no back) I think it was the right amount of running.

What a fun day at Kings Island. The youth loved it and I am a junkie when it comes to thrill rides. My back made it just fine and is a little better today. I hope it is 100% in a few days. 

AM- 6 miles, there are so many ducks around the area it is crazy... all the rain we had makes me wonder if they have set up nests around here. PM- 5 miles, a little warm for me, but good after the monster day of work and I still have things that need finished.

AM 12 miles. I got started later than normal, which meant 80 and just plain ol hot for me. I was sapped very early in my run, but that was okay since my week was spent trying to the back feeling well enough to run and, well, put shoes and socks on with out hurting :) 

PM 3 miles. I found the legs I lost this morning. Just wanted to stretch some more.
