Running yesterday had to bumps - one minor and another that is maybe a little more serious than I am willing to admit at this stage.
When I stepped outside our front door yesterday afternoon I was hit by a really strong, very unpleasant aroma. Farmers were working in the fields surrounding the village, which explained a lot.
The music was good tho and I wanted to complete the Worthington 5 mile course since the last time I did it, my back went into spasm with very little to go and I didn't move for several minutes before completing it.
After 3 miles I still felt okay, although my legs felt a bit more tired than I had hoped it would. After 4 miles all was well and I felt strong. With 1 km to go I felt pain like I had never felt it before. My back had gone into spasm again and I couldn't think straight.
After standing completely still for a few minutes, I walked home where Andy helped me by giving me a little bit of a massage before I climbed into a hot bath. Half an hour later I felt like myself again, but still a little grumpy because once again I couldn't finish the course.
I went for a walk with Andy later on, but it just didn't feel like a good end to the day.
This morning I woke up with rain pouring down outside, my bed feeling very snuggly and my head telling me that it would be okay to postphone my run until this afternoon. :)
