Englefield Greens - 34:21

Busy, stressful day and I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. With 2 half marathons in the next 4 weeks and shaky training, I'm going to be on "cram" mode trying to get reasonably ready for them. I'm going to shoot for something quality every other day. With a 35 minute window to run today, I did a progression run of 7:23, 6:38, 6:31, 6:07, 7:06 (easy mile with 3 x 30 second pickups). Overall pace of about 6:45/mile. Really windy this evening.

PT apptmt this morning. PT did a very thorough eval, and is very concerned that the disc is still affecting S! nerve root. Suggested taking a month of running. I'm considering it, but may run the half marathon next month. Long day and I'm exhausted.

Did back rehab exercises he gave me.

Wash Creek - 59:10

Just trying to do an easy run but spend some time on my feet. Wash Creek is one of my favorite runs in Garden Valley, and I just took it nice and slow on the way up and the way down. Averaged under 8:00/mile, but the GPS was shaky with clouds and the terrain. Back felt ok. Lots of back exercises in the evening.
