Five slow miles in the early morning. Felt OK but the legs sure don't want to go very fast. Later went to the gym for 30 min XT + core.

Five miles in the late AM just before lunch. I seem to have tweaked my back a bit somehow and it bugged me the first mile then finally loosened. Hope it doesn't hang around for very long.

5 gentle miles in the early morning with Kimi. Pretty nippy around freezing but we were dressed for it so it wasn't so bad. Back was still a bit stiff starting out but loosened up and feels better today than yesterday. Later went to the gym for 30 min XT + core.

Ran 5 with Kimi similar to yesterday. My lower back seems to be all better I didn't feel anything during the run or throughout the day. Felt as good today as I've felt since before the marathon so that makes me happy. Kept the pace nice & easy. Later in the afternoon at work I went for a walk, probably around 2 miles.

Nice early morning run. Ran 3 with Kimi then the rest of the time it was just me and the groovy full moon. Nice to feel my legs starting to come back.

Morning run in St George. Gotta love running in the desert in October, temps 45 to 50. Legs feeling good I quite enjoyed the run.
