Holy cannoli! It's MAY?! I feel like it was just New Years Eve!
Anyways, my usual "On This Day" post is here!
This was the last 5k I ran. It was a very fun race---very entertaining to say the least. If you've never been to Ada Hayden in northern Ames, you definitely need to go take a stroll, bike ride, or rollerblade on a nice day.
According to my caption, I ran it with 0 lower back pain. Some time in 2014, I tried dead lifting 250+lbs. (not exactly sure...it was HEAVY) with awful form and hurt my back. I had pinched a nerve in my back before, but something was really wrong this time. It made everything difficult, especially running. So zero lower back pain was a big deal and it still is. I can feel my lower back tense up and get achy when I do the most ordinary things--vacuum, pick up sticks in the yard, getting clothes out of the dryer...I get a monthly massage and see the chiropractor just as often to make sure I get ahead of injuring myself again. So moral of the story, take care of your lower back people!
