Benefits of Life in New Zealand - 3 - Missed The Race!

Due to compete in the club’s 10km race this past Sunday, however on Friday my back locked. I was sitting on the stairs tying up my laces prior to the last training run with the club when the back muscles went into such spasms I could hardly breathe. Luckily my husband was able to pull me up! I still foolishly drove to the club and completed a ‘gentle’ run, hoping the exercise would loosen up the whole back system. My legs had little power and by Sunday morning just taking a step made the bottom of the back groan. So instead of race entry fees I’m paying for another session with the osteopath….my husband’s parting remark on this matter was ‘perhaps you’re just too old’….
