Coming right atchoo
This week I have a mid-term break. Today was supposed to be the day I tell you I might try two-a-days, or run every day this week, or maybe run another sub-2 hour half-marathon later this week. Instead today I will tell you there is something funny with my lower back - I might have pulled something. (I've done that before, so I know the feeling.) It got progressively worse yesterday, and during the night every little move of my right trotter produced an awakening pain. Sleeping on my side alleviated things a bit, but the pain also seems to have travelled up to one of my right pork ribs. So what did I do yesterday to injure myself? Too much hillwork? Weights too heavy?
I sneezed. It's true. I sneezed and it happened.
So barring any miraculously quick recoveries, I think I'll either try to slowly walk it off today, or I might just be as still and horizontal as a spit-roasted pig.
I'll be, uh, back.

Hope you get better soon. Who would've thought a sneeze could do so much damage!

A sneeze that destructive would be fun to watch I must say!
Hope you feel better soon!

That's the pits. A sneeze. Sheesh.

Bless you? Gesundheit? Guess it's a little late for those, huh?
Bet you're feeling a little tired from a poor night's sleep. Rest up and heel, I mean hoof, I mean *heal* quickly!

The back is the funniest thing… I threw my back out one time well typing on the computer… I remember it distinctly. I started a new sentence and hit Shit-N, wham! It was like someone put a pry bar in my spine..
I haven’t thrown my back in a long time and I think it has to do a lot with regular stretching every morning and this core routine which I been doing.. http://magthree.com/Thoughts/Core_Work.html
Cheers.

Sorry about the back, but thanks for throwing in a little pig humor.

so sorry to hear of your bad back. the last time mine went out, i thought about writing a book and calling it,"poor richard's awful back".
have you been doing your/any stretches?

Backs are easy to do that with. I have done that with a sneeze but the real reason is that your muscles are weak in that area. When you recover you may need to do more core excercises.
Hurts I know and I hope you recover fast.
