It is 9:47 pm and I'm recalling that first run with Team in Training when I should be sleeping for a group run tomorrow morning. I push it too hard sometimes. Perhaps if I didn't I wouldn't be having the back pain I'm feeling now.
Somehow, I managed to throw out her back while...get this...making her bed Thursday morning! Yes! I bent over to tuck the sheets in ala-military style and that was it! I felt like someone was pulling me forward preventing me from standing back up. After a few deep breaths I managed to straighten up - but wow! I haven't hurt my back like that in a long long time. In fact, the last time (car accident aside) was when I was first moving into my apartment and trying to connect a 100lb mirror to a wardrobe by myself.
Anyway, this pain is nothing when compared to everything else! For those who know, pushing it too hard is not uncommon for me. I'll run a little harder, a little faster because I'm in training.

I'm training for a purpose.
I'm training for The Ave because I believe in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's mission.
I'll push it because I'm raising funds for Leukemia & Lymphoma and I don't want to let them down.
I'll push it because I'm healthy and if my running helps put a smile on an honoree's face then that is all I need to know.
I'll push it and keep pushing it until my legs no longer function and I'm out of breath - but even then I'll push it more because I'm running for a purpose:
