Training Log Archive: 'Bent

First run since my injury. I took it easy, but the back felt OK. Slight twinges on uphill, otherwise not bad at all.
I didn't pay for it afterwards either.

Still taking it easy. I did more stretching with more range than before, and I feel it today.

Finally up to a hike with Bash and the beasts, to survey the damage from the Microburst.

My back is about 75% better today, but I'm leery of doing anything hard and having another setback.

Did nothing yesterday but stretching and balance, as well as a visit to Thumbs-of-death. The back feels a little better today, even after sleeping on the basement carpet in a huge storm.

Getting a bit frustrated with my back. LeAnimal thinks it may be the Psoas muscle involved too.

Since I couldn't work or watch the TDF (No power) or go biking or running (injured) I went out to finally clear a path back to our trails after all the lumbering work. They seem to intentionally put all the cut branches onto their tracks to help them grow in or discourage trail formation.

I was able to make a nice little singletrack trail with just a bit of pruning and raking of the cut bits.

My first venture outside since my injury. A fairly easy ride with Bash on rail trail, dirt road and some tough climbs in Glen Haffy. My back felt OK riding, but was trashed for the rest of the day, perhaps only 40% better.

Dr. Bash suggests I take a few full rest days, and I think I will. Easy training's not working..
