5 in 45 something. I don't know why I was feeling it yesterday because today I am not as far as speed goes. Both knees were hurting this morning along with my lower back. My lower back has been super bad since Saturday. Sunday it felt great and then all this week it's been bad. Lucky for me though my FIL is a chiropractor and he just got in town today. So he popped it a trillion times and it feels better but it is still sore. He tells me I shouldn't even be running so much because my arches are crap and my knees are crap and blee blah. He also said that wearing the water belt can throw off your back because the water levels on each side can be different. I thought that was intersting because I was wearing a water belt saturday and I usually never do.

Moral of the story- I'll probably take it easy the rest of this week and see how sore I am after timp hike to decide what my long run will be on Saturday.

I love a story with a good moral.

It will take some time to recover after your Saturday run, for a marathon they say a day per mile for recovery, and I think your first 1/2 has got to be the same. I'm with your FIL about the water belt, it really can throw things off! Take it easy, better to take some time off to heal than beat your body down to a point where you won't be able to run!

I totally hate water belts. I suffer sciatica, lower back pain anyway and that waterbelt makes me want to scream if I'm wearing it. I have a hand held now and like it much better. No matter what it's inconvenient to carry stuff. I sure hope you are feeling rested and better after the week is through!
