I've hurt my back in the past, but never when I was doing any running. Last week I slipped on a step and hurt my back again. It felt like and ice pick in my back with each step walking, and I didn't think I'd be able to run for quite a while. It still hurts with certain movements, but as long as I keep my spine neutral it's quite a bit better.
So today I decided to take a chance and go for a run. I was able to run 3 miles, not very fast, but with hardly any pain. Without the heel strike of walking (no matter how light I made it), running was actually better. I'm just amazed at what form can do for you.
