Lately I feel like every day when I wake up, something on me hurts. Some days it's my lower back, some days it's my ankles, other days it's my neck. Kind of frustrating. Luckily, my Achilles has felt a lot better lately. I guess my form is better when I run quicker. Some days, like on Monday, after doing 100 body weight squats, I woke up and felt that good kind of muscle ache. Where I was using muscles in a way that I hadn't in a long time.
But my lower back, ankles and neck pain have been nagging and not a good feeling. The past few days, I feel like someone is stabbing me in between my shoulder blades. I can't turn my neck and when I turn in my sleep, the shooting pain wakes me up. Im hoping that as my body gets stronger, these aches and pains go away. I know Im no spring chicken anymore, but Im only turning 38. I see people in their 50's and 60's running half marathons and full marathons. So I just have to believe that after years of inactivity, that this is just my bodies way of getting stronger.
