8 hotel TM miles:
After my run on Sat my lower back muscles were pretty sore and on Sun I went outside to play soccer with my girls and while playing goalkeeper I dove for a ball and tweaked my back. It seems to happen about every 6 months when my back muscles are fatigued and I make a sudden jerk or movement. It usually takes a week or two for the muscles to calm down, so I decided to take it easy for a few days.
I spent the week in California and I only ran once the whole week on the TM in the hotel. I wanted to rest my back and also take a little more time off to make sure my body is 100%. I did walk about 20 miles around Disneyland and California adventure, but no running. I also spent some quality time at the beach and taught two of my girls how to boogie board which was awesome. They loved it. |
