Day 75

Yesterday had the potential to become a bad day, but that which I thought would make it a bad day didn't really pan out.

I woke up with a small twinge in my lower back, similar to the lower back pain that plagued me about 4 weeks into the year. And I was fully prepared for an out and out back attack, but, for whatever reason, it hasn't materialized. The last time I felt it was at work yesterday afternoon, but I just gritted my teeth through it, and tried to ignore it.

When I got home, I did my stretches, figuring if I felt any pain, I would not do my run. But there was nothing bothering me so I did the run. (Similar to yesterday, the first couple of blocks of the run were the hardest, plagued with self-doubt. But, by the end I was feeling like I could do another mile. So, today I will add another 1/4 mile to my run, bringing it up to 1 1/2 miles.

Food-wise, a good day. Banana and a breakfast bar, grilled chicken Caesar salad for lunch, and the Chunky chicken gumbo for dinner. A banana half-way through, and a rice cake snack.

So, now the facts:
