I hope you have all been keeping up to date with my life via my incredibly in depth tweets =). <\/font><\/p>\n

Quite a bit has happened since the last time I wrote. I have wanted to write a blog many times, but well, life’s been pretty busy lately. For the 2 weeks prior to this week, work was keeping my VERY busy. You can read about that here<\/a>.<\/font><\/p>\n

I have spent most of this week in a dazed, drugged sort of state. Why you ask? Calm down, I am about to tell you. <\/font><\/p>\n

I spent the weekend, rather, the one day that we weren’t busy (Sunday) doing some chores around the house. Troy came over and helped me add a pull up bar in the garage which I love. I started building a 2′ plyo jump box, which I still haven’t finished yet. Lastly there were 2 hose stations that I needed to get hung outside. <\/font><\/p>\n

The pull up bar and jump box inspired me to start getting back into the crossfit WODs. That being said, the workout for Monday was: <\/font><\/p>\n

30s dead lift, 30s rest, 30s cleans, 30s rest – 8 sets. Rx 135lb. <\/font><\/p>\n

I knocked the weight down to about 100 b\/c I didn’t think I could make it through 8 sets @ 135lbs. I got through the workout and actually felt great. I was happy and proud of myself for getting back on track with xfit. <\/font><\/p>\n

As the day went on, I started getting a bit sore, which I expected. I went to KF, practiced, taught my tai chi class, then reviewed leopard katas. By the time 830pm or so rolled around, I was starting to get really sore and tight. <\/font><\/p>\n

We got home and watched some TV then got in bed. This is where the trouble started. I started tossing and turning. I couldn’t find a comfortable spot. My lower back hurt, a lot. I tried heat and ice… nothing helped. <\/font><\/p>\n

After about 30 minutes of of this, Victoria urged me to go the ER. I am happy I listened. The wait wasn’t too bad although, to me, it seemed like an eternity. <\/font><\/p>\n

Finally, I was able to see the doctor and they gave me the following (keep in mind, they gave me 2x doses of everything):<\/font><\/p>\n
