My attempt at running another 100 at the Umstead 100 Endurance Run fell short. I experienced back spasms at mile 17 and after a couple of hours of ice and rest, I managed to complete 50 miles. It was important to at least accomplish that goal. I'm not 100% sure I would have been able to complete the distance although I was feeling great and the running weather was perfect. I'll never know and although I'm disappointed in not completing the race, I'm also relieved that it's over and I can move on. I need a break from all the miles I've been putting in and am not sure where to go from here. One day at a time and I will let it unfold. I'm confused and seek guidance so will be open to my inner voice. Today is going to be one one more day of rest and tomorrow I will attempt to start getting back into some type of routine. The weather is awesome, going to be record highs so hope to get the bike out soon.
I think I'll take Chico to the park this morning for a walk around the lake. That's a foot in the right direction!
