Easy run around Lake Overstreet this evening after 4 days of nothing due to back spasms - bleh.  Sat on my arse in front of computer at work for 40 hours in two and a half days at end of last week and I'm thinking that has to be the cause of the low back pain.  I've had it occasionally in the past, but never kept me off the trails for more than a day before.  I know, I know - gettin old.

Averaged a little over 8 min on my new favorite trail run - half of Lake Overstreet to Keel Over to back half of North Loop to last mile of the Ravine Trail.  Lots of good up and down action and twisty single track on the slightly more than a mile section of Keel Over.  Wasn't the best effort since I was down four days with my back issue, but fun nonetheless.  Back was essentially pain free - thats something.

A billion degrees out this evening for a short track workout.  Did 2.25 warmup and then 4X200 with jog across infield.  Finished up with 4 barefoot striders and two laps around infield.  I inexplicably forgot to wear my watch or the Garmin, so had to... gasp... wing it.  Did the 200s easy in about 35ish.

From the trailhead up to the North Loop trail real easy, then worked the Loop .8 mi at about 6:30 pace.  Continued around the ravine trail back to the trailhead.  Good finish to a strange week of workouts.  Four days off due to the back issue really did a number on me.  No back pain, but first couple hundred feet today and yesterday I had weird numbness/shooting pains in both buh tocks.  No issues after getting warmed up - will keep tabs on that weirdness.
