Ho-boy! So I am totally taking this week off of running. My knee is already feeling MUCH better from the rest. But.....oh man! I feel like such a dork; I HURT myself today. I was doing some deep cleaning when it happened. (See, this is what happens when you scrub on your hands and knees!) I was all hunched over and scrubba dubbing away, and I....sheesh...how do you explain it? I had a sharp pain in my back like one of my vetebrae exploded. Then I rolled onto my side and just laid there for 15 min. All the muscles in my lower back seized up, and basically throw a fit if I move. This has happened 2 times before. Usually it takes about a week to get back to usual. I still can't really stand up straight, (although I am much closer than before my chiropractor appointment this afternoon). And walking hurts. And running is absolutely the last thing on my mind. I'm sure I'll be almost 100% by Thursday, though! But forget cleaning--cleaning is the devil. This is what comes from too much anticipation. I like to call it "preparation," but James is more partial to calling it "freaking out." I am feeling lame--in more than one way. And 2 of my kiddos are sick. STILL. This bug is taking forever to go away. I'm the only one who hasn't had it. Pray I don't! |
