Pluggin away, just barley....................

My schedule for this week has been 3M, 5M, and today 5M. I have completed them, but beyond covering the actual distance I can't claim that much training has occurred.

Today my back hurt so darn much I walked most of the run. At one point I had to stop and bend over with my hands on my lower back to stop it from spasming. As I stood back up and started running again the high school track coach passed me. Talk about being vain! He is a legend in our town (with a very distinguishable vehicle) and whenever I spot him I try hard to act like a real runner. I'm surprised today he didn't pull over to make sure I didn't need 911!

I know my back hurts because my hamstrings are tight from the trail race, but I have had so many things to do that I have not had much time to stretch like I should so this is totally my fault. There is always tomorrow I guess.

Tomorrow is only a three mile day and then Friday is my day of rest. I can hardly wait!!!
