Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
6.00	2.00	8.00

Standard run today. Nothing exciting. 8 miles, a black lab, yoga, core, inversion. Left leg/back is still giving me fits. I do seem to warm-up and the pains does ease but never goes completely away, not sure what to think. Hope it doesn't get worse or I may have to back off a bit. Couple of faster miles today, not because I felt good, just because they happened. Tomorrow is tempo day but as usual it's up in the air until it actaully happens.

Time: 1:04:03 8:00/mile

Hate back problems. Good job being sensible.

I think I will go use my inversion table right now. I always forget!!

Nice job with the run and all of the extras.

I think I am going to take it easy for a few days as well ... some tightness is creeping in. Silly bodies!!

Say hi to Meg for me!

Nice run. Could tight hammys have anything to do with your back? I know when mine get tight I sometimes feel it in my lower back.

Rhett...that is what I thougt two and it may very well be the problem but I do stretch the heck out of them with my yoga every morning, maybe I need more. The leg issue appears to be a strained quad muscle, probably brought on by the back issues altering my stride. Ah the joys of running.

Geez my spelling sucked in that last post!!! Why can't I use the edit button to change it?

From Rhett on Tue, Aug 04, 2009 at 19:32:42 from 74.36.34.147

I've never figured out the edit on this blog either. I'm always wanting to go back and change things but can't.

Hmm, do you need a deep tissue massage or a PT to work those tight muscles out? What do you do while on an inversion table?

My edit works. My browser is Firefox. Not sure if that's the case.
