This morning I attempted to resume my marathon training schedule. Luckily the increases in mileage is very gradual so I can just basically jump back in after missing a week. I ran what I felt was ridiculously slow and on flat surfaces to not irritate my lower back, but alas, my lower back started hurting about halfway in my 2 mile run. I finished with minimal pain and a 10 min 41 sec/mile pace. I stretched especially well after the run and iced my back down, took a hot shower, and iced it down again afterwards. The pain is mostly gone now a few hours after my run, but I'm a little worried it won't go away.
