10 miles on my new INOV8 ROClites. Pretty good support. Ran the canal road down to Sardine Canyon. Up Sardine for a while, then down to Highway 89 south to home. Good combined workout on dirt and pavement.

Perfect weather for a trail run. Snowed on us most of the time. The trail was wet, muddy, icy, snowy, deep snowy, slick and steep at times. It was a blast to run. The Northern Utah Trail Series put on a great race to benefit the development of trails in the Ogden area. Enjoyed my time with my trail running friends.

Weird week. My wife and I were in Las Vegas and Pahrump, NV. On Wednesday my back started hurting. By that evening I was in an emergency clinic because the pain was so intense. My back, hip, and leg had surging pain/burning. The clinic doctor prescribed a muscle relaxer and anti-inflammatory. The pain is still pretty intense. I was in a wheelchair on Thursday and Friday. I'm back home now, so I'll go to my doctor tomorrow. I'm thinking my 30k this Saturday may be in jeopardy.

X-rays show that the disc below the L-5 vertebrae is seriously thin. I had surgery on it in 1984. The doctor says stretching and core exercises are the cure. I've been using forearm crutches to keep the pressure off my spine and reduce the inflammation. Today I have been able to walk for a while without a lot of pain. I went back to work on Wednesday, but I'm going stir crazy not being able to run.
