Shoot, shoot shoot double shoot, darn double darn.....yah and  I still run 10 milers for plodding miles as Sasha calls them.    My back is killing me and my speed.  It radiates to my hamstrings and calves to my feet, throbbing aches in lower back.  Just did heat therapy and massage by hubby.  Feels better if I am not moving around.  CAN'T HAPPEN!!!!  Everything feels good otherwise, so is it my undiagnaosed tethered cord or a bulging disc?  Do you think I am going to be taken down by this?  I am a runner, I don't think I will stop.  I am taking ibuprofen too.  I would rate this pain an 8 of all back pains I have had including back labor.  I am used to pain, mainly migraine pain to the nth degree so you think I could hang in there, but it is meddling with my speed.  I can't lift my legs high without even more intense pain surges.  YIKES>   10K tomorrow, if a miracle happens  I will race it.  If feels the same will tempo it at 7s or slower.  Chiropracter visit on the horizon.  Remember I am insane so not running is not the answer  :  D     10.48 miles, same loop as yesterday with an addition at the end.  8:41 pace, so at least I took it a little slower  : )

oh, i am sorry julie. i hope you can get past this pain...sometimes not running IS the answer, although it is never fun to hear that ;) really, i hope you get to feeling better and good luck on your race tomorrow. just don't push anything that you shouldn't :)

I know Allie. Sometimes NOT running is the answer, I just don't want it to be. So I am voicing my feelings aloud on the blog hoping some superpower might completely understand that I don't want to not not run right now. Maybe later, like AFTER SGM when I take a brief interlude, then hit the trails.

OH dear that sounds painful you're comparing it to back labor well I know how bad that hurts. I hope you are able to will it out of existence. See what the chiropractor says maybe he can help. You are amazing I can't believe you ran through it anyway. How HARDCORE!

There's power in positive thinking.
