The other day when I did this move (Superman ab exercise) I felt like I arched my back too much and my lower back hurt for a little while after. It probably didn't help that I did yoga on Tuesday and did 3 wheel poses too. Today I was all set to run to the gym, do some ab exercises and run back, but a few minutes into my run, my back started hurting again. I'm not sure if it was because of what I did the other day or becuase I was running in a hunched over position to try to keep a small drawstring bag on my back. I forced myself to run the 2 miles to the gym even though it hurt, but I didn't get as much running in as I had planned. I really need to work on the running becuase I have my first ever 5k coming up in 18 days! Branden has been running a lot and I think he is ready to go!! I know I can do the 3.1 miles, but I'd like to keep training and be a little more prepared.
