Met Danielle up at Daybreak and did an 8 mile run with her. I cant believe how much colder it is tonight compared to last night. sheesh! It feels as though a storm is in the midst. My lower back was giving me some pain. I think its just age creeping up.

Do you do core work Walter? Could be you need some of that..or...Low back pain could be you need to stretch...Either way both are good for your body. :) I know I know..I am talking to an Elite runner! You know all this. .. oh, Could be stress too...Sit in a hot tub!

Missy, nope - he's just an old man. He doesn't have any middle to strengthen anyway :)

Nice run Walter, but where is today's? Did you run the BBK's into the ground again?

From Walter on Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 08:19:34 from 24.10.169.110

Sammy, yeah yah. It appears that our high mile weeks are off set. I will get there.

Missy, You know I was going to start the P90x thing. I was swimming a lot more 2 years ago when my times in the half were faster. I think for sure my Core muscles could get better.

Rachel, sometimes Today is not so good for me. I came home to be bombarded by a plethora of es aech eye tee!

Sorry about your back pain. You are so NOT old!!!! For whatever reason swimming has really helped me with all kinds of things (even though I stink at it).

Did you ever get a yoga DVD?

From missy on Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 21:04:18 from 65.100.206.118

I still don't know what P90X is..I hear people talking about it all the time on Bodybuilding.com...I don't watch tv so I never hear the workout thingymajiggers.

From Walter on Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 21:47:37 from 24.10.169.110

Teena, I have your Yoga DVD! I was trying to copy it and forgot. Ill get it back to you. I know I could benefit from some of those positions that guy does! Amazing! My back is in limbo right now. I can feel it but not painful when running harder or at my own pace! I notice more problems when I was running by Danielle.

Missy, its a really good workout for those not looking to go to the gym. You can do it at home with minimal cost of weights.

I just can't get motivated with Videos...I have bought some and try them one time...the "Instructors" Really irritate me..they are so...fakey..lol.
