Night-fog jogging is probably as much fun as biking in the same conditions: very introspective, unusual, and inspiring.
It does sound funny that way. Great job, dude. ;-) I have an old injury that I manage to pull/hurt/whatever a few times a year, too. Any time I get on an inclined bench (i.e. to do crunches), if I relax into it, it will twig that spot when I go to sit up. It's weird, and not very nice. Stretching might help, I suppose.
I abhor virtually everything about jogging, so the intropspectivey bit is a big bonus. I like jogging after dark, because it's cooler and quiet. I take my glasses off too, so it's like running through an underpaintng. More meditative, which in turn helps me put the fact that I'm uncomfortable and wheezing out of my mind =)
I'll take a day or two vacation time and turn a weekend into a long weekend, I think. I'd like to time it so that I can partake in one of these group rides of yours... I've biked on that trail on the North side... a fair ways out (past the old factory house area)... it's nice. I'm sure the trail keeps going for a long ways beyond that too. What about the Trans Canada trail on the northside, toward mactaquac? Ever rode that? The riverside trail on the southside toward Lincoln might be another good run... Must get my bike gear fixed first though.
Well the back thing sucks. Any sort of sport or heavy lifting injury can cause that so it can be hard to track. Hopefully it's just a pulled muscle that will correct itself soon. If not, go see a doctor.
A lot of people like to say jogging is hard on the body but from what I've read and my own experience with running it's no harder on the body than any heavy cardio vascular exercise. A lot of people injure themselves jogging because they think, "hey it's just running, anybody can do that". The fact is, jogging safely and properly requires technique that most people don't bother to research. Injury-wise biking can produce (and did according to 1999 US health statistics) the same amount of injury as jogging if overdone.
Jogging/running got a bad rap a decade or so ago because one of it's foremost proponents died of a heart-attack by running himself to death. Of course if you actually research the case, he literally was obsessive about running and did it to an unhealthy degree.
