Thursday Morning

OK sooky la la time
Tried to run - only managed less than 20 mins before having to stop. My back has been HATING me all week since field work last week and it refuses to loosen up. Basically when I try to run my body has an "F you b**tch! Die b*tch!" kinda response. Back hurt, stride was messed up and not my left knee but my RIGHT knee didn't like it! BS my knee pain and back pain aren't related!!!!

I finished off the 30 minutes doing my version Scraps vertical treadmill idea but heart rate is so low I'm not sure I can really class this morning's efforts as a workout. I'm tempted to just go out and run for 2 or 3 hours until something either breaks properly or gives up on hurting me - I don't have time though since I've got a chiro appointment this afternoon.

Perhaps that's something to try after the nationals. Resting and stretching doesn't seems to be a magic solution and I'm sick of reminiscing about the days I used to be a runner. It's ironic I feel this way the day after trying to console Micheal about his knee problem!
