I rose from the dead and ran this morning. I hate running in the cold and dark. It's so completely unmotivating. In addition this is my busy season at work, so my mind is focused on other things. Staying with exercising through life's ups and downs can be a struggle, but I've found that if I keep exercising I usually end up better for it. Isn't that a novel idea.
I ran the neighborhood. Probably a 3-miler, not much. I've been having a pain in my lower back, left side, up high like my kidney's spasming or something. If I happen to pass-away at the marathon this weekend please have my left kidney promptly autopsied. I'm sure it to be the culprit. My left calve is not in order either, although I doubt it's fatal. It's tight though and an annoyance. I have an image of myself walking back to my car, a drop out, with a cramp in my calve bending slightly with each step to the left, favoring my undiagnosed kidney disease. Ouch. Mental imagery is supposed to flow more toward the positive side right? I'll suck it up. I'm planning to run steady the whole time, a nice November training run to get my mind off things.
