It was all going so well. The runs were feeling better, we were going faster, we were running for longer. Last night all that changed.
I was cruising through my second lap of the Vondelpark when something changed in my lower right back, just a touch above my bum near the middle. I walked for a while and tried to pick up the pace again, now I was starting to register pain.
I stopped and tried some stretches, got up and things felt better, ran for another 500m or so and there it was again. Not quite painful, but definitely not good. I walked home and tried some more stretches, no good.
This morning I had to roll out of bed. Tomorrow we were planning to take the train to Schiphol and then run back. Like I said, oh fuck..

Oh fuckety fuck.
I keep reading about the runner’s high and how after a while you get in your stride. But, all I feel is tired and in pain. When, I wonder, does the body start to respond to a new exercise regime?
I will have to do the Schiphol run alone… Hope you feel better soon mate. If it’s any consolation, both my hamstrings are sort of twitching today.
I just got off the phone with a chiropractor and I have some exercises to do. Let’s see how it feels tomorrow morning….
Puds,
What the fuck is this all about. Explain my son. Explain. In 140 characters.
Fuckin’ love you Dobson!
