My first run in OKC with a back spasm!!!

Well I got to OKC yesterday and the heat is here but at least the humidity is less than Florida! I think carrying around a chubby little Brendan pulled my back out. I celebrated this with a 1 mile run in my new Brooks Ghost 2s...I don't know which I love more, the old ones or the new ones! Despite the heat, the spasms which cause me to lose my breath and a slight case of dehydration, I did a mile, the Garmin read 8:24 but my heart rate was higher than normal, which slowed me down some. That's OK, the new shoes were awesome. I love them!! Well, for low mileage anyway, I will see when I get my long run in. I'm hoping through stretching and pressure on the area the spasm is coming from I will be OK to try to get up really early and head to the lake to run the trails. The boys are exhausted and as I type this Brendan is going into his 3rd hour of a nap...he got up way to early this morning, all excited. Cody is watching cartoons and I'm debating what sounds good for lunch.

I have 16 weeks from today until my first half, so missing runs right now is a bad thing, I'm hoping everything will work itself out and I will be able to continue my training on track!!!
