MRI results and streak day 24 #twit2fit

Ok, so I had an MRI yesterday, and it shows that I have a bulging disc between L4 and L5.  Running doesn’t hurt and things seem to be getting better, although slowly.  We’ll see what physical therapy brings.

I believe I’m going to be avoiding anything that resembles a sit-up now for the rest of my life, as I think that’s when all this started.

• Ran for the first time. 2.16 mi in 18:18 #twit2fit I intended to go outside to walk 2 miles, despite my back being pretty tight still.  Leaving the gym, I had to decide whether I wanted to bring my iPod Classic (arm band) and phone with me (no pockets).  Doing so would have guaranteed that I wouldn't have run.  However,......
• Day 38 of the streak #twit2fit I've run 27 miles in 5 days, and today's run truly felt like miles 23 - Finish of a marathon that I had not properly prepared for.  I guess part of the lesson here is that I've run most of the last week too fast. 3.25 miles in 31:57 (9:50......

• Sockless in the Mizuno Wave Rider 9s, 3.1 miles. #twit2fit Streak day 8. I broke out my first model of running shoes (Mizuno Wave Rider 9s) to run tonight, to see if the running in them affects me differently than in my other shoes.  Since my thin socks are just about completely worn out, I ran in my shoes without......
• Streak day 20! #twit2fit Was a little dehydrated and had allergy issues this morning.  Oh, and scratchy technical shirt, 4.3 miles, an extra 10 pounds, and no band-aids is a bad mix.  Throbbing headache and little stinging sensations. 4.3 miles in 0:41:02, for 09:33/mile pace 4x15 sec strides (up to sub-6 pace) at around......
• Streak day 16 #twit2fit 3.9 miles in 38'47" (9'57"/mile).  A little plantar fascia /arch pain in the left foot starting about 2.9 mile mark. I'm planning on converting my running plan to a 5% build-up to a 70 mile week for the week ending September 9, 2008.  That will be 9 weeks from the......
