I am very sad to say that some how, some way, I was loading my dishwasher today and totally threw my back out! It must have been the way I was standing or something but my lower back buckled and literally knocked the breath out of me and dropped me to the floor.  I have tried to work through it today but it's only getting worse.  I don't think I will be running tomorrow.  So sad! Hoping and praying for the best!!!

I went to the Chiropractor yesterday and am feeling much better today! He said my Disc is torn again and the inflamation is what it tearing me up (pushing on nerves, etc).  I was able to walk a measely 30 minutes on the TM today is all :(

So, today I am feeling much better and feel ready to run (against Chiropractor's orders) :) . I actually went to a Physical therapist as well today who mentioned nothing about my disc but said that I have Facet Syndrome.  I am learning a really lot about what running and babies has done to my back but it's not stopping me!

So, tonight when I got home from work, I decided to hop on the treadmill and see how I felt.  I started at a 6.9 setting and worked my way up to 7.5 for the first 4 miles, then ran the last mile at 7.6.  I feel good!! No complaints! Hoping it remains this way :)

Weather nor my husband's work schedule allowed me to run outside this morning so it was just me and the treadmill..........and Channel 2 news blaring in the background of course!!  It was a pleasant run this morning.  I started again at 6.9 but only ran up to 7.5 today! I was happy to get in 5 miles and happy my back is feeling okay today! Off to Saint George tonight to watch my brother in law compete in the first IronMan in Utah! Pretty exciting~

I love St. George and Love running here!!! I woke up this morning a bit earlier then the rest of the family and headed out for a nice little run.  I had no plans today but just wanted to get in at least 7-8 good miles.  I started running along Dixie Road and felt really good!! The sky was beautiful and you could smell the Russian Olive Trees all around (one of my favorite smells).  It just smells like Spring in St. George.  It also totally amazes me how much goes on at 7:00am in St. George!! There were Yard Sales Galore, people out every which direction, a Dog Adoption/survival event going on, people out doing yard work, etc!! It was fun to see all that was going on.  So, I felt really good, had my music going and decided to run out 5 and back!  Made it a total of 10 miles at a 8:11 pace so I was happy with that, especially considering that there were a couple of decent size hills incorporated there!!  Nice.................!!! Now it's off to watch my brother in law compete in the IronMan (poor fella)!!
