nil. zip.  spirit willing body not.  not sure what the heck is going on.  BACK PAIN 8.5!!  feet burning/numb.  patchy numbness in legs.  usually this doesn't stop me but with an impending 23 miler on my Squaw Peak course this Saturday I am needing to take it way down.  Seriously would have been not good to run today.  Pain was so intense I could only lay down at times on my stomach and still it pulsated.  My bone scan scores for my hips were low end of normal, so good enough but my spine was at Medium Risk for fractures due to loss of bone density.  Doesn't tell me if I actually have a break which I guess could be the case.  The pain is taking me by complete surprise.  What happened to my pain free running days?  I will take sleep-deprived running over this aggravating pain.  Got an adjustment today.  My hips were way out.  I went thru a major moment of INTENSE fatigue that I just had to lay anywhere.  So I just stopped on my living room floor and laid there.  Last night I did the opposite of a night shift after working 14 hour day shift without stopping --- fell asleep at 930pm slept til 1230am then was WIDE awake until 230am.  Difficult to fall back to sleep.  Eventually did until 630am.  Daughter getting up so couldn't run but then my feet were so tingly and my back throbbing that I fought the thought.  Could I actually take a rest day?  I am still tempted.  But I will be strong.  NO RUNNING TODAY.  not sure I can agree to that for tomorrow however.

I am SO SORRY! That sounds miserable. I am worried about the 23, be careful!

we are supposed to be taking it nice and easy (melanieb and I). she is running Onion Days on Monday so doesn't want to take it too hard. FINALLY as I can't keep up with her. Darn this PAIN. Who has time to NOT RUN? I might just have to run 4 hours at SGM and do a CART WHEEL at each mile and a lot of Toyota Jumps. Even run backwards for a moment or two. Seriously if this doesn't go away I realistictly should not push it....time will tell but I am NOT getting any younger!!! IRRITATED GRRrrrrr!!!!!

I am irritated for you! But the cartwheels would be fun to watch!
