weekly check-in

[ilanarama]

Hello, runners? How goes it? Did you race this weekend? Are you racing next weekend? How goes the change of seasons in your part of the world?

Here's your inspirational quote for the week:

"We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves...The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, 'You must not run faster than this, or jump higher than that.' The human spirit is indomitable." - Sir Roger Bannister

Perhaps... I was doing more distance less speed last time. I noticed that when I go slower, I bounce a lot more. So, I was bouncing harder for longer, aggravating a disc issue.

Next, I plan to bounce less for shorter, and evaluate from there. My spine doc says that running isn't intrinsically bad for it; but, I'll have to dial in how to do it safely.
