Summary of rest weekend at home

Saturday: RUN 10 miles in ?1:35? on IM path
Sunday: RUN 9.5 miles in 1:31 at home

Friday I rested, busy but resting.

Saturday I ran on the I&M. Warm day, needed to shed the t-shirt! YAY warm weather! This run felt good, but behind my right shoulder I had pain. Much like before, in that it's worst when starting from a stop. I talked to some bird counting citizen scientists, other than that, quiet.

Sunday I ran from the house. It was not quite raining, but it had rained overnight and the air was something like 99% humidity. No phone or podcast, just me. Out n back based on time. Although I spent most of the run planning the turn around based on distance.

Sunday was pushed for time (but I stuck to my schedule wonderfully) because we had a Mother's Day planned! Walking around the zoo and botanical garden with the family was great. The stressful and speedy drive back to STL to get the doggie from boarding was not great. But I got to drive through pretty storm clouds right at the end. Gotta find the positive somewhere!

One year ago I ran the SR Marathon. What a markedly different year this is, with the injury and goals as limiters. I don't think I could sustain a sub-9 pace for even a half marathon right now.

I'm feeling rested, but worried about my back. It was getting better, is this a set back? New injury? Or therapy pains?
