Update

I know I have not posted anything this past week. I have been recovering from a low back injury. I strained something in my low back last Sunday and it tightened up on me on my trip back home last Sunday evening. I have spent the week rolling on a foam roll and stretching. I really believe in using a foam roller when having muscle tightness. It really seems to massage out any muscle spasms and trigger points allowing for faster recovery. I will use the foam roll daily to prevent further injuries and tightness to muscles. I am looking forward to starting back on my routines this coming Monday!

2/8/13 Workout

This morning's routine did not consist of any exercises, only running. I ran 6 miles in 51:12. My pace slowed the last 2 miles. I need to continue pushing so pace will stay consistent. I know it is only training, but I try to train to win, got a ways to go and more punishment to endure.
