I got up early this morning and went to the Y to get my 2 miles in. I got there and decided that I was going to do my mobilefit strength workout. I was on my last work out, which is a machine for your back, on my last set and I did something to tweak my back. I had felt like the weight (75lbs) was a little much the previous set, but still continued. Stupid move. I didn't finish that set, and went over to the treadmill. I had to think twice about whether or not I could run, but decided to try anyway. The run actually went pretty well considering the sore back.
I got home and iced my back and had Paul rub it a little bit. Then I took an 800 Ibuprofen. I feel much better now.
We had S2F group run on Saturday at 630am. I was really dreading it. I didn't want to get out of bed, but I did. Then I was driving there and I really wanted to turn around and go home, but I didn't. I got there and the run was awesome! The best run I've ever had! It's so weird how you never know how a run is going to go until you get out there! I think there is something magical about Saturday morning group runs! I suffer through my runs all week, then Saturday is awesome!
Saturday was the first time Kim and I didn't run together in a group run. She ran with Brandi, her boyfriends' SIL. They are MUCH faster than I am! I ran at a good pace for myself, listening to some good music, and had a super good run! When I was done, I sat and had some water, talked to a couple of people new to the program, then went back for Kim and Brandi. They did 5 miles, I did three. Kim was dying on the way back. I ran back with them, then we saw Parrish and talked to her a bit.
Tony Clark, the local guy doing the Badwater is trying to get some media coverage and Parrish is a reporter for one of the news stations, so I told her about it. Here is a video of Tony, you should check it out and donate to Gallant Few if you can! It's a great cause!
After Saturday's run, Elliott had pictures and they turned out super cute! I'll share the sneak peeks I got!

CUTE PICS!! Good job on making it to your Saturday run! I wish I had a group to run wtih but I do intervals and am slow! LOVE the color run pics! I so can't wait to do one!
ReplyDeleteYou look like Willy Wonka nerds! Tee-hee! I'm glad you had fun! I bet having a group to run/walk with made it a blast! I'm disappointed in mine because I ended up not having anyone to run with, maybe I should have come up and run with you! I was a little annoyed at the walkers walking all the way across, too, but "just for fun" is definitely the right mentality to go into that run with! And Elliott looks precious!
