We finally had a true blizzard and snowfall. Thursday night I had to cancel my run because of the snowfall; Friday they canceled most schools in the area. I was still planning on a full weekend.
Saturday morning I woke up in pain in my lower right back that got worse (much worse!). I ended up waking up Paige and she was on the phone with a 24 hour nurse through our hospital and I was pacing, shifting positions, and trying to find someway to make it better. About three hours later, in the span of about 10 minutes, it stopped hurting. It went from about a 7 on the 1-10 pain scale to a 2.
I had discomfort the rest of the day and some and I did pass a kidney stone around 4pm. But I did not feel much like running. The one good thing that came out of this is my wife has thought for 17 years that I am a "pain wimp." She no longer thinks that after she watched me cope with this; I am again "Mr. Macho Tough Guy!!"
I did get in around 5 miles last night, but it was COLD! The wind had shifted to the north, and although it had been in the mid 30's earlier into the day, it had now dropped into the teens with a 20+mph north wind. I was under-dressed and uncomfortable for most of the run.
Forecast is for single digits today, but mid 30's by midweek. So hopefully, I can get back on track.
