Time 52:30 AP 8:45 Tempo run 9:57, 9:24, 9:12, (flat and up) 8:05, 7:54, 7:57 (down and flat)
I started out slow and thought this might just have to be a slow run. I pinched a nerve in my back yesterday (left side) and it killed! The weird thing is, it was while I was driving! I turned to look right and BAM! What? I couldn't turn or bend down. I did the best I could the rest of the day. Then while I was bathing Josie it tweaked again! I think I cussed and seriously had to crawl out of the bathroom very slowly. I called to have my older daughter get her out of the tub. She (Josie) was worried about me and kept saying "Mom! Mom!" I was freaking out a little because this has never happened to me. A spasm, a nerve, I have no idea what this is. I slept okay. Got up to run and it was hurting a little when I first started but then gradually got better. So the entire time since this happened I've been praying it would go away. Please don't let this be something serious so close to the marathon. Please let this go away!!! Well...running this morning seemed to help. I told myself, just run and do what feels good and don't look at the watch. (I did look when I started feeling better) I felt so good! I wore my first pair of capri tights and they're super comfortable. I think that helped me run faster:) The weather was beautiful! I wanted to have a great last tempo run before Ogden. Hopefully the pinched nerve thing will go away. I can still feel it but not too bad.
