Ran 8 easy miles today. My back is still bothering me but we bought a new matress topper to go on our bed and it seems to be helping. I stopped taking the ibuprofen yesterday as well so I can get a better read on how the back was feeling. We'll see how the next couple of days go and go from there. Today was supposed to be a 4 mile run but Meg doesn't like going 8 on Friday and then long on Saturday so we decided to switch 8 to today and move 4 to Friday. I will probably go 5 or 6 tomorrow just for the extra conditioning. Todays run felt pretty good and the pace was a little faster than my normal easy runs but still felt pretty easy. There have been lots of threatening clouds in the skies the last few days but not much rain to show for it. Hopefully the rains will be coming soon because the valley really could use it. Temps were in the high 70s today but it was still very humid.
Time: 8:22/mile |
