I drove towards the North Chagrin Reservation planning to do the Survival Workout. As I drove though, a pain in my low back began to grow and expand. I found myself shifting around in my seat trying to find a comfortable position, but to no avail. By the time I arrived at the park, the pain was excruciating and I could hardly get out of the car. I stood, tried to stretch, and thought about running…or not. Not won.
I don’t know where it came from and by the end of the evening, it was gone. I get them now and again…maybe once every six months though they tend to last longer once they set in. I suspect that all the unusual work performed on the boat over the weekend; I'd gotten into several tight spots and had lifted many heavy items from off-balance positions, could have been the culprit. My routine includes a good deal of core strengthening, which is preventive, but certainly not a guarantee. I do need to include a little more low back work and I know how to do that with my rocks and the right movement. I’m looking forward to a complete thaw when all my logs and rocks will again be available to me, though the forecast says that day is still a ways off. We’re looking at another snow storm tomorrow with extremely cold temperatures through Thursday.
