Sore Back
This morning I woke up and my back was killing me. I ran with my little sister yesterday for 15.25 miles. She is training for her first marathon towards the end of May and I wanted her to get a longish run in.
We ran about 3 minutes per mile slower than I would have if running solo, and I think it messed with my gait and just in general threw my body all out of whack.
My hamstrings (which are normally very tight) are now like piano wires. I can barely bend over to try and stretch out. I think a super hot bath followed by some forced stretching is on the agenda for tonight.
But on the plus side my sister was able to finish the 15 miles. So, she just needs to be able to add on the next 11 and we’re all good.
My brother in law had a great run this weekend at the Big D in Dallas and ran his 3rd fastest time ever. He has really been on a tear this year and it is great to see him kicking ass again.

My buddy wants me to run with him but I found out the same thing a few years back: it is just too tough to change speeds so drastically. After 18 miles with him, I felt like I just completed an ultra.
Great to see you back.
