My back/lumbar is killing me today, and I feel really beat up. I think I need to get myself fixed before I try running any more... I was feeling pretty good after 2 days of complete rest before yesterday, but I am worried that this won't resolve by x country ski season, where I wear a waist pack. I still do a little running and other jumping at the gym, in class, so I still need new shoes. I was just thinking that I might have to stop class for a couple of weeks and just go to spin class and lift weights, but I will let some more time go by. No matter how much I *want* to run, I can't let it interfere with riding or skiing, or at this point, anything. I suspect my bike crash also messed up my body, although the immediate injuries healed quickly, I haven't been the same, since.
I took a brisk 2 mile walk today, which was fine, until I started going up the hill. Just a little pulling feeling, but it stopped. But, walking isn't enough for me, unless it's more like a hike.
