Okay, lets add stupidity to a sore foot. After the 25 miles this weekend and a very sore right foot due to the plantar wart treatment, this morning at work I saw a nickel on the floor in a friend's office and I bent down and picked it up and put it on his desk. As I got up I felt a strain in my lower back.
The rest of the day the lower back pain got worse and worse. So after work I went to McNeil HS to at least get in some easy jogging or walking and after getting dressed I looked for my running shoes and realized that I had left them home, duh. So I headed home and walked 3 miles with my wife to see if the lower back would loosen up. Nope. So then I came in and laid down on the couch with a heated vibrator and slept until 10:00 PM when I went in and had a hot shower.
At least the lower back pain is no worse than it was this afternoon at work so I'm hopeful to be feeling some better Tuesday. Obviously I'm having those reflections that we all have at times when we say, "all I want to do is run and feel great, I don't care about speed right now".
Goodnight.
