Ouch my Back...

Last night, out of no where, my lower back muscles seized up. It hurt to move. Wasn't doing anything strenuous. In fact, I was laying in bed with Li reading her a bedtime story.

I figured if I lay down for a bit with a heating pad it'd feel better. Nope. Then I decided I'd just go to bed. Maybe if I rest my muscles would relax. Nope. Woke up this morning even worse.  Dang! I got up and took some tylenol and went to work. As long as I didn't let the tylenol wear off, it was too bad. I could still get stuff done.  The only thing I haven't tried is a soak in the tub. That's the plan for tonight. It would be nice if I had some of the bath soak Staci at Weight Loss Mama
is giving away.

I like to limit the amount of tylenol I take because of the possible liver damage. If I'm going to damage my liver, I'm going to do it the old fashioned way. With gin.

I know this isn't horrible and will heal with a few days of rest. But how am I supposed to rest. I have to small kids. I'm a semi-single mom during the week. AND I'm supposed to run 12mi this weekend. My race is 4 weeks out. Now is not the time for rest. Now is the time for pushing hard. I hate not completing my scheduled miles.

I guess instead of running 12mi tomorrow and 3mi on Sunday, I'll run 3mi tomorrow and 12mi on Sunday. Any one wanna keep me company?
