I imagine most middle aged people like myself have a health concern which is persistent to some degree. Some folks may have migraines while others endure acid reflux or even arthritis. Kidney stones appear to be the issue I will contend with for some time.
Since I started running in March of 2009 I have been remarkably healthy. This past weekend I was remarkably unhealthy. On Friday evening I had a sinus cold the likes of which I do not remember. After I rid my sinus cold with some effective meds on Saturday, my right kidney began to radiate an excruciating amount of pain. It never escalated to the point I had to go to the emergency room - but it was very painful nonetheless.
I did not run this weekend, nor this Monday. Even after the kidney stone pain subsides, my abdominal area in general is sore from scrunching in pain for hours upon end.
I was able to run today. I wanted to run five miles, but cut the run short to four miles because I felt very weak. On a positive note, I surpassed my one hundredth hour of running this year. My next run will take me over the 700 mile mark for the year.
