Friday
I managed a 3 minute, 2 minute and a 1 minute run this morning! I fully intended to stop when my back hurt but stopped because my throat was hurting with the sudden stretching to allow the extra air in! I remember that feeling when I started running from scratch back in March this year. My lungs were fine, my legs were fine and even my back didn't complain, so I walked a bit then jogged again for another 2 minutes. The last jog was only a minute because I reached the car at that point otherwise I could have run for longer. I realise now that starting the Couch to 5k programme from scratch is unnecessary but I may start from further into the programme just to get my discipline back.
Sunday
I wrote the paragraph above as soon as I got back from the run/walk. Since then my back has been in such agony that it was the worse its been for several weeks. I finally went to get my prescription painkillers that I didn't think I needed and I drank a vat of wine on Friday night to numb the pain. Neither worked.
Saturday morning took me 10 minutes to get up out of bed and a further 5 minutes to put some clothes on. We were supposed to spend the day in London and go to see Emmie the Great in Camden in the evening. We stayed at home during the day apart from a shuffle to the shops (in pain) then hubby went to the gig on his own. He said it was brilliant. :-(
It's now Sunday morning. I am not in as much pain but still, it is pretty uncomfortable. We now have an hours drive to see my mother in law in Harrow. I'm wondering how many pain killers I can take before its dangerous to my health.
In conclusion. I'm not going to run at all until my back is 100% better.
Sorry, I haven't got the food diary for you for the last 3 days, partly because I have been immobile so could not keep getting up to either make myself food or enter it onto the computer and partly because most of my calories came from wine (medicinal purpose of course)!!!
