My Back is Not Good
...and I have a half marathon on Sunday
Monday, July 9th, 2012
Last Thursday morning I felt a weird pain in my lower back (left side) but I didn't want to think much of it. I had just run a 5k race in Morgan Hill the day before (20:24) and I thought it would be a passing thing. I think this situation is related to the fall I took a week ago Saturday. Thursday night I did a workout and I was able to get through it. I just pushing through it reaching my 30 miles for the week. Now today it is worse than ever. I only walked three miles today. I could not run. I have been putting heat on it.
This will be my third straight year running the Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon. It is a good course and some way or another I will be ready to race on Sunday. Comments and Feedback

Running with the Grandkids at Foothill
My back has been bothering me the last two days
Sunday, July 8th, 2012
It is always fun to take the grandkids to Foothill. They just love to run. Today Owen (age 5), Carly (age 7) and me spent about an hour at the track. Jaxson went to a baseball game and was not with us this time. Owen wanted to run a mile and Carly took some photos. On July 4th Owen ran 10:55 for the mile. His stomach was bothering him. He wanted to show me he could run faster. He did. He ran a 8:59 mile easily. I don't want to push him but I think he could get under 8 minutes but only if he wants too. Carly just felt like two laps...and that was totally cool. Owen also took some of these photos. My back has been bothering me a bit the last two days. I think I twisted something when I fell last Saturday. I have been putting a hot patch on it too. Carly took this shot while I was running another mile. I had wanted to run with JT Service later in the day but my back was bothering me too much. We agreed that we will set up a run at a later time. Owen always has a smile on his face. Owen took this photo of Carly while I was running. Carly took this photo of me... Comments and Feedback
