I have been partying a bit too hard this weekend. I went out drinking on Thursday with my dad and brother, had a few beers Friday night at home and then loads and loads of beers on Saturday night, drinking until 5am! I ended up spending all day in bed on Sunday recovering. This all meant that I hadn't been out for a run since Thursday evening so I was looking forward to a run today. The sun was shining and I felt good, then everything started to go wrong!
Before I started running a did a few stretches but when I got going, I felt like my legs were all seized up and I couldn't get into my stride, I had to jog at walking pace for a while before my legs felt normal again and after that my back started to hurt, it reminded me of my first few runs. After just over a mile I had to stop to stretch my back before i could go on, after another half mile I decided to cut it short and return home and had to stop a couple more times along the way. By the time I got home my back was really hurting and I was glad I didn't push it.
I don't know if it was the excessive drinking, or the day spent in bed, but things did not go to plan today. I managed to run 2.2 miles in 22 minutes which is quite good pace considering how many times I had to stop, and if my back wasn't hurting so much I think I would have had a really good run.
I will be interested to see what happens tomorrow.
