Temporarily Benched

So I did nothing yesterday, and I don't plan on doing anything again today. But, we'll see.

I woke up at 3:30AM and could not go back to sleep - somewhat due to the pain I'm experiencing in my lower right back and glute area. It's not fun.

I just wish my body would follow the determination in my mind to do another Half, but in light of recent events, I'm not certain this will be possible...this year.

I'd like to get to the root of the issue and really hope it's not due to a surgery in vain.

Such is life, and there's always room for improvement.

If not today, there's always tomorrow. Yes, it goes against the whole Carpe Diem attitude, but I'm trying to handle this in the balance of wisely, but not too conservatively.

No Running!

Blah, my plan to XF and Run was foiled today. My excuses? I didn't sleep well enough to wake up and go to the gym this morning and my lower back, where I had a deep-set lipoma removed 2 years ago (which did help for awhile but what is most likely the scar tissue from the removal of it), is really bothering me and causing pain. Running probably isn't the best idea tonight. Plus my legs are a bit sore, so with everything said, I don't want to compromise anything else. Plus, I really do need new shoes. However, MUST hop back on the train tomorrow. Try and XF and a Run. For now, I'll be treating this blasted back of mine and stretching.

Sorry to disappoint. I'm a bit miffed myself.

Tomorrow is a new day.
