Well this morning I had a rude awakening. I woke up @ 5:30 and laid in bed visualizing my run. I kept telling myself that I could run the 2 miles like it was nothing.
When I set out it was beautiful, just me and the road and the fog. I started out strong but then it felt like the air was burning my lungs and I had to walk. It felt like I could not even get going, I tried a few times to talk myself into it but to no avail. I walked most of it and I am upset with myself because I am too stubborn to fail.
Last night I bought myself a hydration pack and brought it along today, it turns out that when I get into my longer runs (lets try to get the 2 miles down first) I am going to have to figure out an easier way to hydrate. I had the pack with only 1 bottle of water in the bladder because I figured I do not really use all the much anyways, my cell phone, my pedometer, music, Kleenex, 2 gel packs just in case and a Ziploc bag just in case I was going to have a gel pack and not be close to a garbage can oh and my house key.
Well turns out with all my back issues manly my lower back and t-8 where my protruding disc is will not permit me to use the pack. It was very painful and the last mile home although walking my back was in a lot of pain.
I will figure it out though, if that means I need to take the bare min, with me, get a different maybe supper light weight, maybe a small back pack it will work out.

You poor thing. Do they make front packs? Could you use this one only carry it more on your hip? Maybe get a cabana boy to run with you and carry your pack for you? I know you will figure it out.
