Notes
After my Thursday workout, my lower back and upper glutes got REALLY tight. As in, sitting down felt weird and bending over was quite painful. Ergo, Friday became a day off. But I was in Cedar Rapids today and Drew was willing to suck up a run so I was too. Plus, I'm not going to not run on my birthday because of back pain, that's just accepting that I'm getting old!
We ran at 8 but it was still great conditions out (aka, overcast). Drew thought it was warm but he is also out of shape (we did stop for a walk/stretch at halfway). I felt great with my day off and having someone to run with. And the slightly faster paces were also enjoyable.
Not to say my back is healed, I'm likely taking another day off.
