As the title would suggest, I am getting there. I am talking, of course, about my back injury that happened now close to 2 weeks ago. <\/p>\n
I went and saw a doctor a few days ago who ordered an x-ray. The x-rays came back looking normal which means that there’s no herniation, disc, or vertebrae problems. Thank goodness. Apparently it’s all muscle. I must have really done a number. <\/p>\n
Through lots of chiropractic visits (THANK YOU, Dr. Meers<\/a>!) and the PT help from the Tillmans<\/a>, I am starting to feel way better. What was keeping me from walking, sleeping, smiling, and laughing a week ago is now really not that much more than some really bad muscle soreness. <\/p>\n I am not jumping back into things by any means, however. I am taking things really slow and trying to remain active. I’ve got another physical therapy appointment tonight, so we will see how that goes. I am pretty much leaving it up to Mike Tillman to let me know when he feels it’s OK for me to go back to normal workouts. <\/p>\n Last night, the WOD was “D.T.”. It’s by far one of my favorites and I wanted so badly to be able to jump in and do it along with everyone else in the class. I knew that it wouldn’t be a good idea. Plus, I am pretty sure that they wouldn’t have let me do it either. That’s the great thing about having coaches and trainers that care. <\/p>\n Instead, I did some slower paced rowing. I did 2 2000m rows trying to keep a 2:15-2:30\/500m pace going. From over a hear of hearing “PULL HARD!”, “LEGS, HIPS, ARMS!”, and “KEEP IT UNDER 2:00!!”, it was pretty hard to back off and get it up to 2:30. My times were within about 10s of each other (9:09 & 8:55) but really, I wasn’t gunning for any particular time. I was just trying to get my blood pumping with some sustained activity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the title would suggest, I am getting there.
