Oh, the pain!

After a day of personal disappointment, I decided to get out onto the road last night. I set out to run about 4 miles round trip. The first 1.5 was down a long downhill, and of course, the last 1.5 was the same in reverse. About 2 miles into the run, my back seized up. The muscles in my upper back, on both sides, simply tightened up and would not function normally. By standing perfectly straight and not relaxing my back at all, I was able to return home without too much difficulty, but my back is still sore. I will have to see the chiropractor this week. I'll be making an appointment later today for the soonest possible visit.
