Thanks for the info on pain. I think we (runners) have a higher tolerance for pain or we just flat out ignore it. It’s good to know that if it continues past a week or 10 days, we should seek help.

Hope you & your family are feeling better! I never saw a follow up on the 100 miles for December. I actually ran farther than 100 miles! 123.91 miles!!! I was shocked & proud.

As for the crazy stuff going on in the world—I feel the frustration of people who think they have been cheated, no one is held accountable or pay for their crimes, & nothing will change. I have participated in many peaceful protests for ideas I believe in. Violence is not the way to get change. That only aggravates people & causes more pain & despair. When you feel your voice isn’t heard though, that is frustrating. I try to do the best that I can with my actions, my voice, & influencing those around me. Change starts with me and with you and with each one of us. I hold tight to that & do my best to be a better person each day.

Thanks for all you do for us!!!

Timely post! The day after my long run last weekend I had severe back pain the next morning. I took a few days off from running primarily because I just didn't feel like running. After a few days of no noticable improvement I went to the doctor and was told I have a pinched nerve. PT is already helping so should be back to "normal" soon. However, it was a scary but good reminder to be smart and not try to run through the pain.
