Ran Today

I finally got out and ran today. I have biked a few times in the last couple of week but no running. Today was probably the first day that I did not feel sick to some degree. I seem to hold on to a cold or the flu longer than anyone I know. But I felt pretty good today so I decided to get back on the horse. I picked up some new running shoes on my way back from Chicago. I have good luck finding size 14 at the Nike outlets when I stop. I got one pair that accepts the Nike sensor and another for trail running. Today I ran in the Nike sensor pair and my right foot fell asleep. It is a pretty strange feeling to run when one of your feet are asleep. I ran a little over 4k and felt okay. I can tell I have lost some of the pop to my step. Lungs felt pretty good.

My back has been terrible. I am not sure if it is the cold or just my inactivity that is causing the back to act up. Either way it sucks. My back is a funny thing. It seems the pain builds up in my back with the less I do. But it I do something 3-5 days a week that hurts or physially a challenge, like running, then the pain doesn’t build up in my back. No sure if that is normal or not.

I plan to run every day until the end of the month except any days I get out to Center trail. I hope to do that at least one time this week and then over the weekend. I don’t think mother nature is planning to bring any rain this week so the trail should be nice.
