Last night was the last leg of the Relay Series, this one being held at Canterbury! I'd had bad back pains in my lower back all day and probably shouldn't have run, but it was the last one and I really wanted to compete. One of the A team runners weren't running due to an injury so they asked me to run in the A team! I normally run 1st leg but last night I did 2nd! I felt really good whilst running and managed to totally block the pain in my back. I had a really good run finishing in 15.50! The course was 2.31miles, so that time gave me a 6.51mile pace which is the fastest I've done in a relay. Although (and I always do this) I can't help wondering if I didn't have a bad back and I hadn't slacked off training the last 2 weeks, could I have gone faster? But know matter how well I do I will always be asking myself that question!
After the run I did about a miles jog to cool down, but even after that my back tightened and is now quite sore! I think I'm gonna leave running today and see how it is on Thursday!
Lucy :D
