Wednesday, January 21, 2009 (off - back injured)

My back feels about the same today as yesterday. This must be some old injury that I occasionally tweak, but I've felt the same pain in the same place several times before. I normally just go easy a while and it heals on its own, but this one seems to have gotten worse over the last couple of days (it began last Thursday on a tempo run). It's to the point where I can feel it just moving my arm enough to signal on the bike, and even breathing can set it off. I'd like to take total rest, but unfortunately I still need to get to work, and the only transportation I know of is bicycle. I'll keep monitoring it closely, and hope to see some clear improvement in the next few days.
