Powering Through

Every once in awhile my back reminds me how young I am... not any longer.

I started stiffening up a bit after that lovely spring trail run in the snow. Then I had a few long drives up north and I started the Insanity workout, too. Each little thing added a few knots and just after I powered through the on-and-off pain for one more weekend, my massage therapist had to leave town on an emergency Tuesday. And I couldn't get in to see my chiropractor 'til today.

And that almost didn't happen. After I learned that Carter's baseball game was rained out, I called to see if I could have my appointment later since we didn't have to get to town early. The message on the machine said the office was closed until Monday. Boy, I let out a large groan!

Luckily, I left a message and my chiro called me back and said that that was an old message and he could see me today. What sweet relief! My neck seriously needed to be twisted off my head. But it feels better now. I have to go back tomorrow again but I am a little bit more confident about powering forward now.

And being stubborn like I am, I certainly won't take it as a sign to slow down.

But in just in case, I parked my butt on the couch for two hours tonight to catch up on Mad Men on DVR and actually watch Glee while it was on -- instead of DVR. And since Carter has two essays to write tonight, I don't need to linger on the computer either.

Got my blanket turned on and a good book to read. I think I'll be fine.
