Body is creaking

I know, I shouldn't say I'm dreading tomorrow, but I am. I'm considering starting at 4 or 430 to beat some of the heat but I'm not sure which is worse--getting up in the middle of the night or running in temps over 80. And, my back is killing me today. Got up and took 1/4 of a muscle relaxant and went back to sleep for a few minutes but still hurts. Couldn't figure out what made it happen until I remembered what I did yesterday. Went to temple to drive Meals on Wheels and had a few minutes to spare. A friend of mine was there tutoring someone in Hebrew and her precious baby was there, too. I held her for about 15 minutes, and I'm a little out of shape for holding plump little 9 month olds. I can't think of anything else that could have cranked this up. I hope it feels better by tomorrow or maybe I'll have an excuse not to do it! But, I can't do the 20 miler with you guys because of the wedding. Anyone else want to run 20 miles on the Monday or Tuesday after the 25th????

I would say getting up in the middle of the night would be worse than running in the early morning heat.
Hopefully it won't be too bad. don't overdo your back!!!

I would volunteer to run with you after the 25th, but I REALLY love Saturday mornings. Even though my alarm will be going off at 3:45 and I think I've lost my brain saying that...but I just love being with the entire group.... and 20 miles is such a loooong way. My brain (and my body) will need everyone's emotional support!

I've heard that a few others are planning to start around 4:00 so you won't be alone. Good Luck and see you tomorrow. Take care of your back!

Carol,
This to your body and rest. We will be there by 4:30. We can stretch and head out. Take care of yourself. This is not a race!!!! Suzanne

Better take a flashlight for those craters on the Scenic Drive trail. Hope you feel better in the morning. Those babies ARE hard on backs. I still remember that kind of backache.

See ya tomorrow.
