1:20:00 :: 12 miles

Easy run. Back is starting to feel better. Still rigged up pretty good, but not painful to run. Muscle relaxers must be doing something odd, though. Having some GI distress and a general lack of comfort (shallow breathing, slow pace feels fast). Hopefully only a few more days of this.

which muscle relaxer do you use ?

It's called Skelaxin. The drug itself is metaxalone. I've tried Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine), but it didn't work for me at all. Skelaxin still takes 3 to 5 days to fully release the spasm, but that is much better than the two to three weeks when I don't take anything.

I will search for them (availability in Asia ..?)

in Europe, 2 good picks are:
- Myolastan: effective immediatly and very powerful.
But too powerful for normaly daily life: after my first pill, I felt so relaxed that I felt asleep at the table (my wife had to drag me to bed)...
- Mydocalm: much lighter, good effect after few day. No collateral effect.
