I woke up to nagging lower back pain. I figured it would just go away, so I got ready and drove to my normal spot to go run. It is cold, windy, and rainy today, and I contemplated the treadmill, but 15 miles on the treadmill would have been torture!
Anyway, I started running, and my back hurt so badly. It was affecting my posture and running form, too. I tried to keep going for a bit to see if it would loosen up, and it just kept getting worse. I probably should have tried to go a little longer, but it just hurt too badly.
I'm really disappointed, because this run would have put me at 43 miles for the week! Oh yeah, and I'm concerned about my back too. I figure it will just go away on its own. If not, luckily I already have a chiro appointment coming up in a few days. |
