Went to see Wayne Jimenez about my back

Well, I bit the bullet and emailed and called Wayne for help with my chronic mid back pain, exacerbated by running. Had an interesting trip from Madison to his clinic right in the middle of the rainstorm and power outage in Madison. Not only were the cops directing traffic because of the nonfunctioning stoplights, but, when I got to Lenny's to get Wayne his requested turkey sandwich, their lights were out and they could not fix a sandwich (not sure why but I guess they couldn't ring it up on the cash register). So, I left with a page full of exercise to do which I think are already helping--woohoo!!!!!! But, for some unknown reason, Jody and I had decided to run today instead of tomorrow--I think some sort of tapering for the half marathon?????? So, I had to be at the Rez by 530 for the second day in a row, run 5 miles and try to get back to my car in time to drive the Courthouse for my usual 7 am trainer session. Exhausted, sweaty, and stinky for that but I did it. Then, when I came home, I felt compelled to do the back exercises since I'm supposed to do them twice a day. I'm not sure I feel like I am tapering for Saturday!!!! But, I won't run tomorrow. May walk a few miles but will try to make myself not run. If only I could make myself go to bed early enough to get enough sleep when I am getting up at 430 am. And I am NOTTTTTTTT a morning person, believe it or not.
