Mon: Zoom Streak 4. One hour on the way home along the Sumidagawa. Took it fairly easy, felt good, but am a little concerned about how comfortable these shoes will be for 42k...
Tue: Bike 33k.
Wed: Zoom Streak 4. 50 min/12k along the Arakawa. Woke up with a sore lower back, maybe from sleeping on the flooring in the small room because of Taiyo's snoring. Decided to run anyway, and after a while it loosened up a bit. Did about 3-4k in the middle at race pace, or a little faster. Wore my new super skimpy shorts, and they are a bit tight, so wonder what they will be like...
Had a great visit to Oedo Onsen with Miho as a surprise for my birthday. She got me an oil massage, which felt good, but did not make my back problems disappear.
Thu: My 39th B-day!! Rest. Back still feeling sore.
Fri: Rest. Back still sore, actually hurts on the right side when I try to take a deep breath. Went to the osteopath, which usually does the trick, but wasn't so lucky this time.
Sat: Rest. Back is slightly better. Wondered if part of the problem is just general lack of movement from all the rest, so went with Taiyo to his pool lesson, and then went up to the garden in Kashiwa after that. Ok enough to run at this point, but may not be a great race.
Sun: Tsukuba Marathon. Bad as expected. (see separate post)
