KING OF PAIN !!!

What A rough weekend ! I ran Friday ( sorry no post) and it sucked.The back support is not working at all .Intense pain all throughout the run and it was just a miserable time for everyone.Took yesterday off and then ran again this afternoon and it was not too bad still pain and I had to walk a lot but still got it done.Planning on running tomorrow too ! Just hope that I can gut it out!!!

Sometimes,It;'s good to be the King......

I think that I have a solution to my constant back pain /seizing problem.I bought a back support and it seemed to help some still a little pain involved but it was not too hellish and I did turn in a pretty good run ! This morning I am going to really try and run before work and also again when I get home from work and then possibly twice everyday during this 3 day weekend !!!Party On Wayne !!

EverythingS Groovy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What A Great Run Today !!! I took the past 2 days off to rest my back and legs.I started out ok and settled into my run and just ignored my persistent seizing back and just ran.It worked and I went even farther today and still feel really good now ( 2 hours afterward).Beers for everyone and the first and last rounds are on me !!!

What The F*@& !!!!!!

I just do not understand this.My back is not getting any better in fact yesterday was probably the worst run I have ever had in my entire life. My back seized up pretty bad that I had to walk most of my route and today was not any better.I even tried a muscle rub first and bought some new inserts for my shoes and still nothing.I think my next step is a tens unit !! I will not give up the fight I will run through this pain until I can no longer walk the way I see it it has to get better NOT worse !!!

Havin' A Great Day.......

What A Day!!!After waking up numerous times early this morning I finally got up at 9:00 and fooled around with my computer and then I went for a great run at noon.It was sunny & warm and I really felt great. It was a great run to say the least! I am really feeling it and I feel as if I am making progress .I shall begin tomorrow morning on 2 a days as I think that now is the time that I "kick it up a notch". I know it might be a little too soon but I think that I have pushed myself enough that I am able to handle this change the trick will be in getting up every morning to do it.We shall see tomorrow.....

I'm Back In The (NY) Groove.....

I am back with a vengeance .I feel a renewed spirit to running as I now have a purpose .I am now training for the Long Beach Half Marathon and I feel good about this.I was speaking to a co-worker the other day as she has just begun to run and is training for the Long Beach half and she asked me if I'd like to run it with her ? I said yes and another co-worker stated "Why on earth do you want to do that? You're too old" I was taken aback by t his comment so I guess that you could say that gave me the kick in the pants to do this.I have begun my training schedule and so far not too bad.My back is still seizing up and today's run was pitiful as I took the dog out with me and she had to stop every few feet to mark her territory.But yet ,I still felt good and it feels like I am making progress.Granted I still have a long long way to go but at least I am on my way.
